Individuals aren't really responsible for the mass amounts of pollutants put into the atmosphere the same way corporations are. In order for the human population to "live within it's means" at an impactful scale it would require a change of capitalist philosophy that quite obviously isn't going to change anytime soon.
Kicking the can down the road 30 years is by far the best option we have available to us at this point (not that it will happen in my lifetime).

Even if there were an event that wiped out 75% of people, it kicks the can down the road at most 30 years due to a baby boom.
Refusing to solve the real problem is what got us in to this mess.
