Meanwhile, I will do everything I can to reduce my carbon footprint. I don't see the world as "home and abroad", but a place we all live and each individual has a responsibility to help the planet survive. Production is not fueled by cheap energy, but by demand.

Reduce demand and you reduce production. Question is "How?" Wait for global economic collapse? Maybe. I prefer an educational approach, along with living by example.
