The Guardian asked hundreds of the world’s top climate scientists for their views on the most effective actions combating climate-ecological breakdown. The top 5 actions were:

1. Vote for representatives who pledge strong climate action.

2. Reduce flying and fossil fuel-powered transport in favour of electric and public transport.

3. Reduce meat consumption.

4. Reduce home heating or cooling emissions.

5. Join a campaign or protest group.

So... nothing about industry. It's all pushed back onto the consumer. Awesome.
@nigel @GeofCox I'm guessing that's bc the question relates to what "individuals" could do. If it were about what industry could do, that would have been the question.

@nigel @GeofCox It's also why the whole article should be shared, as this provides context..

"Many of the experts were clear on the limits. “It can only go so far. Deep, rapid cuts in carbon emissions from oil and gas, as well as other sectors such as transport, are needed, which are outside the control of the average individual."

What are the most powerful climate actions you can take? The expert view

Voting tops the list for the world’s leading climate scientists in a year when billions of voters go to the polls

Ahh, thank you.
@Annekin @nigel @GeofCox ...unless that individual joins a union and organizes to create change. Unions gave us an 8-hour work day and countless other changes, they can support decarbonization too. 💪
