Nah that's not going to happen because it'll upset their voter base. Imagine if eco hipster socialists had to consoom less.
They'll do it like Germany: add a CO2 tax and simply price lower income people out of the market. As they are constantly redistributing wealth from the bottom and middle to the top that segment of the population keeps growing and thus the poors can't buy much of anything anymore. CO2 problem solved!
It's important to do it that way because it keeps the voter base intact.
Poor people rely on socialist handouts/policies, even though it's the very same shit that keeps them in poverty.
Middle class eco hipsters (especially their propaganda wing, the journos) can still afford their luxuries and are going to keep voting and advocating for eco policies to feel good about themselves.
