That's all this hyperbole from the reactionary scientific community who are no different than you or me comes from.

I'm less concerned with whatever I have to do to reduce my wasteful lifestyle, which I will generally do because that's not a bad idea. Fly less. Eat less meat, or none at all. Less monoculture, more public transport. All of the standard issue projects that the forces of capital have largely opposed for decades. These things are all minor changes in the grand scheme, I can personally adapt
I am more concerned with the millions who might end up dead because we in the west like to have cheap ranch dressing, cheap shirts at Old Navy or whatever else the hell all of those outsourced workers in factories build to keep our goods artificially cheap. Or disastrous waste in other parts of the world that have no EPA equivalent. Or yet another war for oil or rare earth metals or fresh water
I think that's what is going to be bad. I feel guilty for just being an American, no matter how much I personally change, the companies and governments all around me cause far more death and destruction than I can hope to possibly prevent by changing my habits
