Until they get the water bill, sure.
But part of the problem with the cartoon is that it makes climate change an individualist problem rather than an industrial problem. You yell at this couple for daring to have a little slice of normal without asking what their alternatives were. If everything is cookie-cutter homes scattered across Arizona desert, where else do I live? If the HOA says I need to have a lawn or eat fines every month, how do I avoid running my sprinkler? If I'm born into a wasteland and I'm raised to believe wasteland life is normal, why would I behave any differently?
Nevermind that Company Co ~~built~~ imported from overseas via cheap manual labor the house and the walls and the grill and the sprinkler and the big blinders, in order to get this family to spend 40 hrs a week turning out surplus value for their shareholders. Who really benefits from this arrangement?
