They didn't say we can stop it at our individual points of consumption. They explicitly mentioned policy. People need to be willing to support policy that will drastically change their own lives, likely in ways they don't even realize, and be ready to live with that. Otherwise pretty soon we won't be living with much at all.

    don’t @ me about “100 corporations are responsible for like 90% of emissions”. Who’s buying those corporations’ goods?

    Suggesting that the consumer is responsible for emissions at the point of production betrays a deep misunderstanding of climate change.

    Suggesting that “people’s” willingness to support policy that would change their lives is holding back cuts to emissions at the point of production betrays a similarly deep misunderstanding of political power.
