Oh I know, hence why I also know that we're completely fucked in regards to climate change. No one actually wants to do shit.

That being said, you still continue to make excuses, especially for yourself.

Well that's not the type of emotional argument that I was referring to lol. I don't know why you would think I'm talking about myself. I don't own a car.

I'm just trying to understand others that don't live like me in order to find the necessary compromises. Because that's what needs to happen in a democracy.

I understand that you're desperate but not much good will come out of that emotion. It's not that people are evil and care about nothing and that this is the reason why they don't act in a meaningful way. This line of thinking is just plain wrong for the vast majority of the population. Yes, people are also lazy but they also have many many everyday problems and can't make changing their lifestyle right here right now their top priority. Yes we have to fight for changes, in the media, on the policy level and also make the good alternatives a good deal to choose. But that won't happen with accusations and self-righteousness, I'm sorry.
