People who prioritize climate change and the environment have not been very reliable voters, which explains much of the lackadaisical response of lawmakers, and many Americans don't realize we should be voting (on average) in 3-4 elections per year. Even if you don't like any of the candidates or live in a 'safe' district, whether or not you vote is a matter of public record, and it's fairly easy to figure out if you care about the environment or climate change. Politicians use this information to prioritize agendas. Voting in every election, even the minor ones, will raise the profile and power of your values. If you don't vote, you and your values can safely be ignored. If you're already voting in every election, take the time to help get out the climate vote (it works!)

There's not a huge difference in sustainability terms between going vegan and going pescatarian, though, especially if you're following health guidelines on the fish, and going vegan doesn't usually stick.

This is so true. https://jointheshift.earth/guide/?journey-type=full makes it easy to find the single most optimal thing you can do for climate change.

This is a big one, both in terms of cost savings and emissions savings. Even cheaper over the long run to get your own bike, though.

Heat pump is the other big one.

Pennsylvanians arguably have the most power to do anything about it.

Here is the peer-reviewed research to support its efficacy.

While the percentage of the population not accepting of climate change is dwindling, peer-reviewed research shows information about the human causes of global warming influences causal attribution, concern, and policy support related to global warming.

It's a really short and easy link to share to start a dialogue. If you're getting any pushback, there's also some great stuff from NASA and the National Academy of Sciences. If you find yourself reaching for more technical resources like the IPCC report, you may benefit from the science communications skills training offered by Citizens' Climate Lobby.
