We can however make gains in better tech advances and change the other much larger contributors to greenhouse emissions. All the while not bringing economic doomsday, might be some shared sacrifice but worth it.
I'm concerned about flight shaming among other things. Not sure if you've been watching these debates on TV but I have, and a good number of the candidates and their supporters oppose even nuclear energy as an alternative to fossil fuels. These people run for office and they vote. That to me is not something that should be ignored.
