You are spreading disinformation.
Climate change can be significantly reduced or prevented entirely while maintaining or improving the quality of life for everyone except perhaps for the elite.
None of these steps is particularly hard or expensive. Around a trillion (1,000,000,000,000) dollars are invested in fossil fuels annually which is money that could be put to better use right at the outset.
If the economic, political or societal structures we have makes the execution of these changes difficult or impossible, then it falls to us to bring about a change in those structures.
I was once told that anyone who claims that they agree with your idea, but they think it isn’t feasible because “average people wouldn’t accept it” is either astroturfing or ignorant. From the head spinning levels of disinformation in the original post, it’s pretty clear which side you fall on.
