However, being honest with myself, if you asked me right now about my willingness to incur a cost to fund the green transition, I would be hesitant, because I cannot realistically make a cost/benefit analysis. Would I be willing to give up international travel? Would I be willing to eat almost no meat? Would I be willing to pay $10k extra to buy an EV? I don't know. I don't know what that will achieve. I don't know what happens if I don't and what happens if I do. I know neither my individual climate risk, nor how much my contribution would count if I chose to do my part. I am only living one life, so it is pretty hard for me to make life changing decisions without a good cost/benefit analysis.
Luckily, I am by nature quite anti-materialistic and not infected by the consumerist bug either, so my actual carbon footprint is still way below average.
