The devil is you and me and billions of other people who drive cars, use fossil fuel generated electricity and heating fuel, eat any form of animal protein and think we have the right to have as many children as we want. There's a future where Charlton Heston is punching sand and screaming "you bastards!" in the ruins of New York...and we're the bastards.
Really, it's okay. As Matt McConaughey observes in True Detective, you need the bad people to keep the other bad people from our door. The truly good people, the ones who eat only plants and live in small huts whose heating system is to wrap yourself in a sheepskin, and ride bicycles, and never have more than one child...are probably going to be useless in moving the needle on how ordinary people use resources. We need people who are stained with ecological transgression, and are feeling a twinge of guilt about it.
The Devil is the Devil.
I am not the Devil.
I would drive an electric car, charged by electricity provided by solar panels, but there is no such thing available, or available at an affordable price.
As you can see by the fires and towns, average Aussie is 'poor', not 'rich'. "Barely able to buy groceries" many, after housing and utilities bills are paid.
Ride a bicycle in Australia, best of luck with that, a very dangerous thing to do.
Small huts not allowed, against planning laws.
Australia, pop 25 million [including babies, kids, elderly], not a lot of adults in reality, has limited ways to get income.
Digging up stuff and selling it, raising animals for wool/meat, and growing grain are its major exports.
