Can the climate change believers ration their lives first and the rest catch up later?

we are, a lot of people that are trying to make a difference are at the same time trying to make our lives more sustainable. and it is working, but with the scale of climate change, and the small amount of change we can make to emissions with out government action, it will not work! everyone needs to act now to make it work. even if every single climate change activist lived in a cave creating no pollution we would still have climate change. we need a large scale social change to fix this!
