Americans can achieve even more by helping to get others to vote
That l's just because no one did a paper on molotov cocktails thrown at oil barons and politicians and their impact on climate
You're seriously underestimating the kinds of things that academia generates
Edit: and yes, the whole thing is meant as a joke. If you're actually using sabotage to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, turning around and selling social permission to pollute is just plain silly.
I love science
This presumes that a vote has an impact.
In the US, right now, who holds power is still decided by who gets the most votes in elections. Even non-swing-states have congressional races, races for state legislature, and elections for local government.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
