Well, sure, in a way there's an obvious problem. It's difficult to make sacrifices, especially if you have a family to feed, job far away because there's none nearby, an elderly relative to take care of who may need more heating than usual etc. That's why we can't be too judgmental because we don't know individual circumstances. What is absolutely clear is that CO2 emissions are going through the roof, half the world's species are going, and temperatures are gradually increasing with all the chaos that brings. So something's got to happen if we want to avoid this. Sure, personal example is great -- I just don't think it's anywhere near enough for this crisis.
