I bet almost every single poster here could still live just fine if they didn't fly places for holidays and family visits. Ban all cruise ships, too.
People over time have just gotten their wants confused with their needs.

Absolutely - the issue however is though that people have gotten used to this. To take it away from them now will lead to civil unrest and after civil unrest just give up on finding solutions together.
In theory we could all go back to living in huts, heating our homes with fires, wearing animal fur, etc. The point is who wants to do that? That is why I believe the targets will not be reached, so we better have a plan B which includes mitigating against climate change and do our best to lower emissions while beating the clock for technology to save us. Humans are pretty good at developing technology when we all work together, look at the COVID vaccine.
