Every situation is so different that you really need professional advice.

I probably should have phrased it as “have less children” :)

My list was based on the book “How Bad Are Bananas” which goes into depth about the carbon emissions from various things, including children.

I’m not 100% sure that attributing the emissions of a child to their parents is correct ‘accounting’. Maybe only their emissions until age 18? Still, all the emissions caused by that child and it’s descendants would not have happened if it wasn’t for the decision their parents made to create it. Accounted for this way, there is no doubt this is the most impactful decision someone in a developed country can make (that was the framing the OP used so I went with that) but it is not the most likely to happen, most practical or most moral option.

• Don’t have children
• Don’t build a house with concrete (incl foundation)
• Public transport and cycling
• No beef and minimize dairy products

Any domain that ends in .news is full of A-grade bullshit. Just something I’ve noticed.

Wheat production is down 15% since November, the biggest reduction in cropped areas since 2020. Oilseed rape is down 28%, the biggest reduction since the 1980s, and winter barley is down 22% at 355,000 hectares, the biggest reduction since 2020.

So, the above effects, every 3 years.

And we’re just getting started.

A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100”

Remember this is a global average. There will be places with a 100% decline.
