Cars have become massively more efficient in recent years. Mid-size SUVs that got 15-20mpg a couple decades ago are pulling 30-40 now (with definite tradeoffs to get there!). And EVs are finally entering mainstream (and will moreso once automakers figure out how to actually get semiconductors).
Household energy consumption has gone way down too - LED lighting, efficient appliances, and better insulation drove that move and heat pumps are promising to drive that even further downwards.
Behavior change is hard - but it is happening. Just slower than is ideal.

2C is VERY doable imho. 1.5 not so much
