And I might add, I think society as a whole has already decided, implicitly, to put "protecting the environment from climate change" below some other objectives, like commercial/industrial development and expansionist (imperialist) objectives, as a couple of examples.
And I also think most individuals on this thread, regardless of their stated opinion, have made the same choice. If you own a car, you have decided to put your own personal economic well-being (and that of your family) ahead of the global environment.
And I'm not suggesting either of these are wrong or bad. They just "are." For now anyway.
