But then we would have to stop poisoning the lungs of coal miners! And think of all the oil billionaires and terrorist organizations that would go bankrupt!

I think it is more about economic downturns

This is of course misleading in its simplicity.

In order to get the change done the vast majority of people need to change many of their habits. On top of that it will cost a lot of money and will bring a swap in power away from the petrochenmical complex.

Again, this is without a serious alternative because not doing anything will cost a lot more - only this cost will come later and be reactive instead of right now and being proactive.

But the way democracy works is that being reactive is MUCH easier than proactive.

And any politician knows very well that people Twitter things like that and then jump in their car and get angry about rising petrol prices...
