Stop buying shit. Consumption = Emissions. Drive as little as possible. Cars = Emissions. Adjust your thermostat. HVAC = emissions. Eat less beef. Corn fed moo=methane. Buy shit with a buy it for life mentality. Get involved with your local urban planning and zoning. Everyone can do all of that right now.

Down the road, vote for the most climate friendly candidates. Run for office if you can.

Get solar panels so you can run your AC guilt free when the sun is shining.

Solution is a maybe an overstatement, but

  • destroy the methane. That's energetically favorable, so it can be done more easily. Makes some CO2 but it's 50x less bad that way.
  • get the carbon back out and stick it into the ground. We'll be on our way when the Mauna Loa CO2 curve bends and goes down for a year or two. That's energetically expensive, but we'll figure out a way (hopefully) to do it wherever we have solar overproduction.

Trees are nice, but it's nowhere near enough to do that.
