>(and yes, I am guilty of eating tropical fruit in the winter). I'm NOT claiming to have any solutions. The rolling coal example is supposed to highlight - Individuals who refuse to believe our behavior is adversely affecting the planet This is still probably not factual though. I am willing to bet fundamental parts of your modern lifestyle contributes the majority of your per capita CO2 footprint. Minor tastes, like buying fruit in the winter on a handful of occasions or being part of a tiny subculture that owns an obnoxious car is like a fish peeing in the ocean. Complaining about that is virtue signalling that does not solve the problem. The sacrifices that individuals would need to make are so great that this ultimately is a problem that needs a collective solution, IMO. The only really workable fix is one that tackles CO2 emissions in core parts of the modern economy - transportation, food production, construction materials, etc with a mix of technology and regulation enforced by governments working together internationally. This would probably impose a cost which would force people in rich countries to consume less and make do with less, and would have to be tempered with exemptions for poor countries so they aren't overly burdened and prevented from growing economically. So in that respect the sentiment the original article expresses isn't wrong. However at least in this scenario, there's an element of shared sacrifice, the reduction in consumption is a natural outcome of needing to pollute less rather than some kind of arbitrary tax or punishment, and there's an incentive for markets to find a solution.
