Yes we are not rational calculating machines, but we should have a better sense of these tradeoffs.

      Here is the data from the original article iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa7541/meta This can be helpful in setting some priorities, Eg knowing that going vegetarian is 8x more effective than upgrading lightbulbs.

          Another thing I appreciate about this article is that it points out that there are different options for different countries. Consider your location and country’s state of industrial development in your climate change choices is important. 👍
