We're running out of time to wait for the established political class to do something about this.
We need people power - shutting down coal plants by blockading entry of personnel and deliveries, and disabling equipment.
It took just 5 people to shut down this power plant in Germany: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/04/no-regre...
Saving 26,000 tonnes of CO2.
There are about 300 coal power plants in Europe, so with just 1,500 people they could all be shut down at least temporarily. Meanwhile we get some 'climate marches' with hundreds of thousands of people in attendance.

If AI is suitable for 99% of driving, why not use remote drivers for the remaining 1%? (eg. accidents, construction, adverse weather)
You could have a central office in a cheap location of the USA for professional drivers to take control as required. We already do it military for drone strikes...

What about Steam? They control 90% of PC gaming and even charge regressive commissions, with higher rates for smaller developers.

If this is correct then the most logical decision is to immediately cease all domestic COVID limitations, and expose as much of the vaccinated population as possible to the existing strains.
Australia, New Zealand etc. should open up immediately.

One of the problems of recycling (glass, plastics, etc.) is that each container uses a different type of material, and shape.
We should mandate an international standard size container for food and beverages, so that eg. glass bottles can be reused by multiple brands, just with a different paper logo glued on.

So these protestors saved 26 lives.
Of course, the potential death toll from climate change is infinite, since we will never be able to remove the CO2 from the atmosphere in any meaningful way (we would need to recreate the Carboniferous period or the Azolla event).
