Under pressure from Nazis and tankies.
Can we also bulldoze the Nazi SS cemetery in Oakville and for good measure, flood it with piss?

Most climate scientists say we need to make changes to our personal lives and changes to the system. If one lives in the overdeveloped world, one's impact is potentially huge. There are basic things that make a difference: eat less meat from ruminants (beef, mutton), don't fly, have fewer or no kids. Those are low hanging fruit, take little effort, and still leave time and energy for whatever system change tactic one wants to do.
I've encountered the term "Imperial mode of living" cited by Kohei Salto. Thanks for posting this interview.
On the theft of resources for the affluent lifestyle, I recommend Cobalt Red, about mining in the DRC. It's a brutal read. Kids digging with hand tools in toxic pits for $1 a day.

There are 3,311 billionaires.
Once they are eliminated, that's the emissions of 3.3 billion people taken care of.

Impact is equal to population times affluence times technology.
Decreasing human population can help to decrease impact, as long as the smaller population doesn't disproportionately increase its resource use (affluence x technology)
