    Great but I already do as much as I personally can handle. Would be great if society at large, e.g. laws, regulations, and big corps, could get on the same level.

        Don’t blow up the pipeline, that’ll pollute the environment! Go for the pumping infrastructure, if you can knock out a pump you can decrease or even completely stop the flow of oil.

    It’s never too late if you seriously consider all your options Ie:

    Full nuclear energy development with SMRs

    Fusion reactors research

    Full transition to electric/hydrogen vehicles

    Economic sanctions to countries with grid power coming from carbon/ non renewable resources above a certain percentage

    Full development of lunar/cis lunar infrastructure/space

    Large scale deployment of solar mirror arrays designed to reflect incoming sunlight, built using lunar regolith as raw materials source

    Blowing an 88 megatons hydrogen bomb under the sea, below 8 to 12 Km under the ocean floor surface to trigger about 30 years of carbon capture in a second

    You know, easy stuff

    And so on
