Although I don’t have any references handy, I’ve seen people argue that Kyoto-like changes in our lifestyles are necessary on ethical grounds apart from global warming. More often they’ll simply dismiss any sort of technological solution as a “quick fix” or even as the thing that caused the problem in the first place.
There are quite a few people who would like to abdicate control over the physical world.

What do you mean by “abdicate control over the physical world”?
I fit the profile described here quite well. Feel free to ask (I know I’m 6 years late, but that’s the point of internet forums).
People argue most ridiculous things. If they want to “abdicate control over the physical world” they can simply kill themselves—that’s the only way.
