> Where would you draw the line on lifestyle that can and should reasonably change?

I'm with you, but let's just say it.

People, as a whole, don't want to make the changes we all know would make the world better.

People, as individuals? While there are exceptions, the reality is a classic tragedy of the commons. Individuals generally won't accept a short-term drop in their standard of living while watching their neighbors refuse to do the same.

It is what it is, frankly. We can and will change our lifestyles at the very last possible moment. Let's hope it's enough.

Yep, totally agree on the observations and concerns. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I don't expect major changes in lifestyle until its too late and we're forced with no other choice.
