Lots of things but the easiest would be to find local orgs that have already developed political strategies relevant to your local political context and work with them. They can fill you in on the rest.
Climate change won’t be addressed until there is a much larger movement that can flex serious political power. Think civil rights movement—that’s the kind of organizing we need.
Doing nothing would be a start since apparently, you are using that time to disparage the efforts of others.
You don’t have to help, even though you have more than enough time from what you are saying. I know, it’s not your fault, bla blah, you’re a victim. You could just like not have a shitty attitude, that’s all.
They’re happy that folks like you are focusing on the people throwing cornstarch rather than the people causing higher acidity in rain that’s actually damaging Stonehenge.
And the oil industry is very happy that you keep your focus that narrow and you don’t like outside of what you’re presented by corporate media so we’ll done, Shemp.
There is much work to be done and not all of it is physical. I don’t know the specifics of your condition but you are here posting on social media. At minimum, there is likely a need for similar work to be done in support of your local orgs.
Again, if you find some local folks doing such work, I am sure they would help you find your niche.
So you’re saying don’t look like you’re vandalizing an ancient monument during a religious festival held by nature worshipers? I agree and that was my point.
I am somewhat undecided about this action. It gets people talking (as we’re doing now) but it may also risk turning people away from the cause, especially those who are only casually interested or aware of the facts or issues.
But my point was your suggestion that everyone is already aware of climate change is absurd. Especially the follow up that no one can do anything about it. Sure, they’ve heard of it, but everyone is continuing to behave as if it doesn’t exist. There needs to be much greater awareness, discussion, and then action on this topic, and until such time we will need to do disruptive things to get people’s attention. I do prefer to disrupt the people most responsible, personally.
Well, something other than your usual ceaseless negativity would be refreshing.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you post something productive. It’s just constant negativity, pessimism, tearing other people or ideas down.
I’ve never seen you react positively to a positive idea or add anything that would lead to any kind of actual improvement. And then when you ask “what can I possibly do” and someone replies with something you could actually do to contribute to the thing you’re complaining about, there’s no reply.
I get that you have tough life circumstances, but you’re just not contributing anything to anyone with this stuff.

Okay, now what can I do when I’m so sick that I have to rest for hours after walking the dogs for 30 minutes?

You’re right, I will disparage people who think that the way to help is to piss people off.
The main ones being pissed off is the oil industry and that’s who you are actually helping.
Why would the oil industry give a shit if people paint stonehenge?

I’m pretty sure the article is focusing on that and I’m commenting on the article.

They answered what you can do and you completely ignored it.
I didn’t ignore it. I read it. What did you want me to say about it specifically?

Well then you should look through my post history to correct your hilariously false view of me.
K, I just did. It was pretty reaffirming.
