While I'm not sure I am arguing for a reduction in standard of living, my question is: would you be willing to accept a reduction in standard of living if it were to avoid an even larger reduction for your children and grandchildren?
In many cases (not climate change so much, but other supposed "reductions" of standard of living) it's also a matter of weighing things like "can I eat fish that I pull out of a lake and exercise without getting an asthma attack?" which are normally not taken into account in such statistics.
