If you don't mind the slight increase in your energy bill:
1). Exchange your car for a large SUV
2). Leave unnecessary lights and appliances on in the office and home for as long as possible and as often as possible.
3). Cut down all unnecessary trees.
4). Drive your car for completely frivolous journeys.
5). Make sure you're the only one in the car even if your neighbour is going in the same direction.
6). Turn all thermostats up.
So come on now and do your bit! Give the middle finger to all those carbon nazis and flaky greenies!
What will you tell your grandchildren when they ask you, "Granddad, what did YOU do to fight the Carbon Nazis?" You don't want to have say, "I sat by and did nothing!" do you? How embarrassing would that be?

You're willing to take a hit in your pocket just because you think you'll get up the noses of people you don't even know. 🙄
You're even thicker than I thought!

7) Leave all windows and doors open, even in the dead of winter.
8) Break holes in your walls and ceiling with a sledge hammer.
9) Leave your SUV running while parked outside your house.
10) Buy a new SUV for every journey, using up huge amounts of natural resources and burning loads of fossil fuels in the manufacture.
11)As soon as you have a new house, burn it down, and rebuild. Not only are you releasing beautiful toxic gases into the atmosphere (which will really get up the greenies noses. Snigger), but you're also using up huge amounts of natural resources in rebuilding a house, and the associated embodied energy.

"I'll show those Nazi's and convert to Judaism!"
I think you'll find it's not a very effective strategy.
A much better way to "fight the good fight" as you seem to see it is to fight fire with fire.
Go find scientific articles, or scientists who disagree with the consensus view (the beauty of science is that there's always some of them), show them to be independently funded, i.e., by a government or self funded. (i.e. NOT companies) and Bob's your uncle.
Or you can continue with your little "I'm the anti-hero" scenario if it makes you feel like a man.

Goes to show how up I am on hippie hypocrisy.
Economics alone says....use less, save more.

Doesn't change the fact that live aids is hippie hypocrisy personafried.
Also, I am reasonably energy conscious on a personal level, I just like to ridicule the spazzing, panicky, hypocritical global climate change warmering crowd.
