      Apart from the voting which is above all else, if you REALLY want to do something on an individual basis, you should reduce your meat or become a vegetarian. It seems that’s what experts claim has the biggest impact. Apart from that, don’t have children, or 2 at most.

        Please don’t have children. Think about the life you’re condemning them to.

        Why vegetarian, not vegan? Cows are a major contributor to the emissions, and people tend to increase their dairy consumption when going vegetarian.

          You seem like more of a mauve hajji, if I’m being honest. You’re definitely a fall.

        Depends on your definition of peaceful. Industrial sabotage that specifically targets unmanned equipment would still be peaceful by my definition, for example.

        This, it’s the only thing that really counts, we all need to pull together, the only way to do that, is to vote in politicians that actually give a shit.

            Oh boy not the false equivalence again. If you don’t give a shit yourself then don’t vote.

            It makes a difference who gets the power, and your main influence is your power to vote.

              I always do vote for the party with most proactive views on climate change.

              I just feel really jaded that they are going to make much of a difference, short term capitalistic gains seem more important to all

              Edit - I’m also beginning to feel that voting isn’t my most powerful move. Disruptive protests are looking better and better.

                It may not be the most powerful for all, but for most it is.

                Just don’t go along with something like Just Stop Oil, that’s not constructive or helpful in any way, and it’s off-putting for the vast majority tiring people of the issue, rather than waking their interest.

            Yes, some that really give a shit might not be a part of a major party in whatever country you live in, but even among established parties there are people who are more inclined to do something about the climate catastrophe than others.

      Honestly, I’m pretty sure the deficit we could create on an individual basis will just be used by companies instead, so I’m just gonna agree with the others on voting being the most effective method of making a difference.

      As others have said, voting is important. But also I’d guess that direct action will play a large role in the next few decades.
