The difficult question is how much will we have to give up if we don't?

I think the more salient question is WHO will have to give WHAT up if we don't stop?

I assume most HN readers work in IT with decent salaries, putting us in the 90th+ percentile globally. We'll still be drinking wine in our off-grid A/C'd homes when the rest of the world suffers.

The more difficult question is who gets to decide.
Even if no identifiable person gets to decide, the climate may force a whole series of individual decisions. Or a wildfire decides for you.
