My take aways:
There is nothing wrong with taking positive actions to reduce your personal carbon footprint. I do.
Those actions even saved me money and made me financially better off and improved my quality of life.
And while the merchants of doubt, will try to discount my positions on policy, by utterly ignoring the abusive consequences of burning Fossil fuels on others. Saying instead I ought to just go do what I want in private and leave them to burn all the FF they like, and simply ignore all the damage cost they are unfairly moving onto other people. Such positions are just more abusive behavior gaslighting and deserve to be described as what they are.

The place for further work (learning by me. hence YMMV.)(especially from a QOTO perspective), is the points made by Hornsey (13:00 - 17:40) are important as they identify how people make up their minds. Most importantly how some (hierarchical) people make up their minds via pathways utterly unlike mine. Understanding what reasoning will be required to convince them of the personal benefits(within their worldview) of actions on emissions

Then after that, discussing the different roles people can take, is important to remember. Not everyone can do everything, a man has to know his own limitations.

Making sure there are both problems and Agency in the discussion,
We need systemic changes, in how we say generate our energy and which things get what kinds of support via, either ignoring damage emissions make or directly funding the harm.

but we will *ALSO* need individual actions to adjust how we personally impact emissions, and also in how much social cachet is attached to doing the carbon foot print reducing things you do. So not only ride a bike, but make it look good.
