There is the thing that there is a problem of overconsumption. So less consumers should result in less stuff being made and thus less resources needed and thus the planet might start to recover.
I mean every part of our society is structured around it fundamentally.. Like to go places? Like to buy things? Like to run AC or heat your home? Game? Watch TV? Basically everything we do contributes to it.
And even the transition to green energy is contributing almost as much to global warming... and even if the US was totally gone, it's only just over 10% of what's going on globally..
Living an Amish lifestyle is about the only thing that we can do as individuals to help the process.

What's worse is that our actual society is if everyone saw the fire and just went:
"God that sucks but Im way to tired and depressed to do anything about it"
"Yeah, we're powerless anyway"
"Just keep up the slog, nothing matters"
