Sure, and apart from maybe bringing a temporary headline from some dramatic act of eco-terrorism, what’s the average person’s options at their disposal?
Granted, you’re posting from a European account (hi from the US where this issue is even worse), but at the civilian level with people who do not have the capital or political influence to interrupt the engine of society, why risk anything by trying? For such marginal effect?

If people organize, they have tremendous power. Going to protests, making a local group to prevent ecocidal developments. Scrutinizing the deals of local government with companies known to are particularly destructive, organizing targeted consumer boycotts, making it a key issue in who you vote for or don’t vote for.
The lobbies are scared of people breaking the apathy, so they spend enormous amounts of money on maintaining it. But if it breaks, it breaks hard and you could see changes in a year that seemed impossible in a lifetime before.
those experts say that the individual efforts to curb global warming is insignificant compared to other methods. its a waste of time akin to telling everyone to recycle, only for the dump to mix it in with all the other trash.
its theater to make people think that they are doing their part so they don’t band together and demand action. just like the ‘good’ protesting we do in the states is designed in a way to give people the illusion of making a difference all wile being easily controllable, and easily dismissed. when considered that its actually used as a method of control, preaching for individual efforts to curb global warming is worse then doing nothing because you stand in the way of the conversation that must be taken to actually solve the problem.

You could collect rain water to mitigate the impact of drought. Pretty much anyone should be able to manage that.
Listen to the experts, they have plenty of things the average person can do that don’t require you to commit terrorism.
