The biggest chuck of CO2 footprint is heating and cooling. I'm pretty sure people don't want to stop using their AC.

Second biggest is cars and animal agriculture.

So, three most convenient things in the modern world, cooling, transportation and abundance of umami luxurious products and yet what, one industry to blame?

Climate change is happening because of the way society works, individuals works. It is a social problem.

What you need to fight is the ingrained greedy human nature. You need to fight the desire for convenience. Desire for luxury.

Many people will never inconvenience themselves by not eating animal products or by not driving a car, or by not cooling their rooms.

It's not the fault of the industry. It's a collective guilt shared by all and given that no one teaches you anywhere to fight against your greedy nature (well, maybe some religions somewhere do it right) I do not see how this will stop.

There is enormous demand to relocate into more temperate and less car-dependent parts of the country. Indeed we will not abstain from cooling and motor transportation where they're required, but we can move to where they aren't required.

He even lives in Los Angeles where all these 3 are heavily used (maybe more than in other places?).

LA has: lots of AC and lots of cars

Not quite in LA, but there is Harris Ranch nearby.

So if he really wants people to change he needs to start at his door, I suppose.

Los Angeles happens to be the most energy efficient in the country and residents are quite environmentally aware
