But averting climate catastrophe involves changing the way people live their daily lives, the sooner the better. This sort of stance - we can't do anything until we do everything - could result in stasis and despair. If Americans gave up their SUVs for hybrids, walked more, adjusted the thermostat on the heat and a/c, and did other things along those lines that you regularly disparage, it would make a difference. It wouldn't solve the problem, but it would help, and not trivially.
