Perhaps we could have avoided this outcome, and perhaps there's still a way to return to a sane life.

None of these can be had without the infrastructure we have built. None of the advances in the human collective knowledge could have happened. We know this because we can look back in history and see how long humans clanked rocks together and yelled at the sky above for rain.
Only a fool would suggest we should have avoided this outcome, all while typing on a keyboard connected to the most advanced thing humans had ever made.

Your response reeks of emotional bias. Please try again.
But you seem to have forgotten saying:
"It’s much more mundane. Normal everyday actions by the un-wealthy masses are what drive carbon emissions."
Before we continue, why do you say what you mean instead of saying what you thought you said?
The fact remains...the power-less are merely "following orders", while the power-having reap the spoils.
The masses are the post poweful group in the world. They set the pace for everybody else.
