Modern comforts like electricity, cars, heating, and cooling. Those are most of the CO2 that people produce.

It is dumb to give up modern comforts when we know how to make them green by making electricity renewable and electrifying everything. Changing habits like reducing driving and increasing transit would help. Some things will be hard, like airplanes and concrete.

I agree somewhat that there is lots of distractions. There is a lot of talk about plastic and recycling that really has little to do with climate change.
