You have been brainwashed into lowering your standard of life. You shouldn't be upset at others because of that - instead, work on yourself.

> You have been brainwashed into lowering your standard of life

Destroying the planet is indeed lowering not only your standard of life, but everyone’s. Remember there’s no planet B.

Relax, the planet can't be destroyed by climate change. Hyperbole are not useful if we want to have a reasonable debate.

That’s nitpicking; writing «the planet» for «the world we live in» is an extremely common metonymy.

I can assure you i have not lowered my standard of life by not cramming myself into an economy seat for an international flight 10-15 times a year.
