Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat

Yes, that is great on an individual level.

But the best thing to do overall for our environment and climate is supporting protest movements, especially those employing nonviolent civil disobedience. Per pound/dollar/euro, they reduce emissions the most. But if you can, attend events in person.

This should not neglect that we need both individual and system change and they depend on each other. You should reduce your meat consumption and advocate for a world where everyone reduces meat consumption (and even become vegan or at least vegetarian).

Bombing a refinery with a drone might help stop oil.

This is all bullshit… if you live in grasslands, importing fresh produce from South America is not more green than just eating beef.

  If I’m remembering right, transportation of a food item makes up no more than 2% of the total carbon emissions for that food item.
  
  Eating local produce can have a big impact on the quality and freshness of food, but has comparatively small environmental impacts. It won’t make beef greener than beans, no matter where you choose to get each from.

I’d go for drowning billionaires in oil drums.
