FWIW given the downvotes, I think your points are valid, although I think things are more complex and need a more nuanced response. (For example, I see this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I don't want to blind myself as a result of enjoying--weather willing.)

It alarms me when I see people react angrily or defensively by mere exposure to the idea that we as a society need to consume less if we want to 'flatten the curve,' so to speak, of climate change. These are really important conversations that we need to be having. And there is a lot of corporate and ultra-wealth interest in us not having these conversations and not taking action (sooner versus later). I think they may have a hand in disseminating the idea that any such cut-backs we make will greatly reduce our quality of living and "how dare they!" kind of thing that is really black-and-white and denial-based. But it can play into the human psyche and fend off critical thinking and a willingness to examine one's own role in things pretty effectively
