To solve this, you would have to A) increase energy prices to replace carbon sources with renewable sources thereby increasing inflation, and B) stop the purchase of products from China and India, who would remain the world's biggest emittters, thereby increasing inflation.
Not saying we shouldn't do it, but it's going to dramatically lower our standard of living right now, to preserve the standard of living 77 years from now. That's the problem with this, the harms are so far off, and the costs are so high, it is difficult to rally much support.

Yeah, stop buying stuff from India until our government enacts similar stringent environmental policies. Exports don't really help the common person, and we're more of a service-based economy anyways.
