What is so “scary” here? It’s literally the easiest thing you can possibly do. It’s the default option.
“You know how you were gonna have a second kid? Here’s a thought: consider using the time and money you’d spend on that to do something else. Like retire early.”
If we can’t convince people not to do an expensive, time-consuming, painful thing in order to help stop global warming, we really do have problems.
Whereas making a car or a plane trip or a burger or a child x% more expensive will move us in the right direction and even that will be resisted to a crazy degree.
