I wonder where the stolen oil is taken / processed?

They do if we threaten their pockets or their lives.

Historically, which one is targeted is their choice.

Yup. We have to be the content we want to see.

I mean, reddit retroactively stole money from redditors. Any gold/coins you paid for? Gone. Why? Because.

How does one deal with people that act like this?

I'll take the opportunity to plug ground.news - it's a site that shows all media sites it can find about a particular news story, displays their political leanings etc, their general writing bias and/or likelihood of misinformation, and then attempts to summarise the story.

The solution is to not be a Nintendo fan.

No, seriously. You support their draconic practices by buying their games.

You guys rock. Good luck with your little ones.

So whilst the baby glacier idea has already been assessed as not working in the 90s, the ice stupas (TL;DR - water fountain in a shady mountain, sprays water to make a big pile of ice in winter - melts in summer for crop irrigation) seem pretty useful.

Surely you'd be able to triangulate the VPN connections based on the 1 hour drive.

Better to just become a nomad.

I rather thought that the fact there will be no Planet Earth IV is a rather ominous sign of our future biodiversity.

No.

But your subtext explains that you're okay with murder. You are part of the problem.

Benefit from the problem ≠ root cause of problem.

Fire Engine Tank Trap.

Unlike a normal tank trap, this works by forcing crippling indecision upon the crew over which outlet to attach to.

I mean, it did up until maybe now.

Sure. That doesn't mean smell isn't telling us something though.

Eh, I'm not sure addressing it at the same time is as helpful as it seems.

People have limited bandwidth and energy. Better to rally them to supporting climate action targeting companies, which has the knock on effect of influencing people's personal climate responsibility. (e.g. if you put a carbon/GHG tax and include the meat industry, then all of a sudden veggie/vegan alternatives are a lot cheaper and people end up buying them without having to personally and collectively motivate themselves.)

Edit: at this point I'm beginning to think that people arguing for consumer responsibility as equally or even more important than legal regulation on emitters are at best useful idiots propping up polluting industries or at worse bad faith actors.

But the average person does not care enough.

Can you point to examples where this has worked to change mass social behaviour where it hasn't been underpinned by laws or regulation or taken multiple generations to achieve?

We need change now. Targeting companies is the only way to change things now - not some years down the line when eventually we get every common person to understand that taking on hardship voluntarily is prevents collective hardship even more years down the line.

Maybe, get out of the way? Like police officers in civilised societies?

If a car is going fast enough to endanger you, killing the driver will not stop the car.
