If you rationally understand that it will have no global impact on carbon emissions, self sacrifice doesn't make a difference.

The way I see it, the more the world cuts off those supply chains, the more pressure there is on the ones that remain.
If a drug user has multiple suppliers, what do you think is more likely to happen - the user proactively stops on their own? Or the user is forced to respond to supply getting cut off?
This is an economic sanction that draws similarities to other economic sanctions used around the world to apply political pressure.
I'm not saying we stop burning carbon in our own country (that's near impossible for a while yet). I'm saying we stop accelerating and enabling others burn it. I don't think the extra money in our provincial pocket is worth it at the state we are at currently with climate change and the accelerating nature of its' effect.
