No one wants to stop burning stuff today because the entire world's lifestyle depends on it. I buy 100% electricity from renewable carbon-neutral sources, but that alone won't solve the problem because we still need to maintain the coal- and gas-fired plants for times when demand is high and wind/sun aren't available.

I don't think I'm a hypocrite even when I burn stuff to produce things people want. We should use the world to provide things we want. My running a reflow oven incurs a small cost on future generations but provides something someone wants right now. Someone building a noisy factory might destroy value of the surrounding land but create value for many people. We just have to balance it and make our activities a net positive, not an unwilling transfer from someone else to us.
