But we use half the energy per capita - without being less wealthy or having a worse life for it.
On the contrary, rather; smaller cars cause less road noise and wear. Better insulated houses are more constant in temperature. And so on.

Tax paid isn't just gone but gets spent by the government, creating jobs and improving life.
We're not deprived of anything. Rather, we evolved.

We're not doing too bad, according to this stat:

We can tax and subsidize. We can fare war. We can deny there is a problem. There may be more options still. What to do?

For education go to people unlike yourself.
