Each individual is facing the following choice in life:

• sacrifice to save the planet, and fail
• or not

People want to immediately jump to “if everyone would just …”

Nobody is looking at an “everyone does X” button. People only have their “I do X” button available.

So that is literally the answer to your question. Very few people would sacrifice the civilization to eat a cheeseburger. But nobody has that choice or that power in their hands. Their choice is eat the cheeseburger or not, and the survival of civilization stays rigidly the same between those two choices.

Even when my mother was in a hospital bed we’d brought into the house, thin like a toothpick, I was still wondering what her odds of survival were. It’s so easy to be in denial. Then one moment she just stopped breathing and that was it.
