I think it makes a lot of people feel good to vote that way and maybe pay a little lip service. But when it starts to actually impact their lives, I doubt many people will put their jobs/money where their mouth is, or give up travel. The pendulum will swing.

The only practical way to reduce carbon is to transition the existing economy in a practical, fairly smooth manner... simply crushing the existing economy (what the extreme activists are foaming at the mouth for) is not remotely politically feasible.

Otherwise we'll probably end up back at Jan 6.
