    Well, no, wandering off into the woods is the biggest personal offset you can make.

    And there’s a whole range between that and being a vegan anti-natalist, and once you get into calculating your impact on others the whole equation changes

    This isn’t a problem that can be solved personally, it doesn’t make sense to look at it like that

      wandering off into the woods is the biggest personal offset you can make.

      what about destroying fossil fuel extraction or transportation projects?

        Well that’s not really personal anymore.

        Like say you blow up an oil rig or tanker… Congrats, you just made huge a carbon footprint.

        Now say oil equipment gains a habit of being sabotaged, consistently. If it’s one person, It’s a problem for law enforcement. If it’s a consistent thing, fossil fuels have just become more expensive to produce statistically

        Or, you know, we could pass a tax or regulate them properly

        Regardless, my point is that climate change is a systematic problem, thinking of it in terms of individual action is already flawed
