I am envious that you met Amory Lovins. I remember being fascinated by an article discussing the eco-forward house he built in Colorado in the 70's. He has been one of the great environmentalist of the last century.
You asked me before if anything we can do will make a difference. My answer is still the same, we have to shut down methane use immediately. Globally this has to happen in this decade.
That will require governmental action. The single most important thing you can do is become a "Climate Voter".
We all need to vote like our lives depend on it in the next two election cycles. We have to be single issue voters whose ONLY concern is climate change. Climate Change has to become the most important issue for everyone in the world or civilizational collapse becomes a certainty.
The first Climate Shock is upon us right now, temps are going to soar over the next 4-5 years. Agricultural outputs are going to collapse by 40%-60% and 1 to 1.5 billion people are probably going to starve in the next 5-6 years.
The elites that have profited from the fossil fuel economy have suppressed action on Climate Change for over 30 years now. They are still trying to suppress action from being taken so that they can squeeze out another 10–20 years of cash flow from the fossil fuel industries.
When circumstances force change before the existing elites are capable of accommodating it. Well, that's what revolutions and civil wars are all about, isn't it?
As much as I agree with the things you are discussing (fyi: have you read any of Erik Assadorian's stuff) it's very last minute at this point. You might be better served by focusing on the highly practical issues raised by Shaunta Grimes in her piece on Climate Crisis prepping:
How to prepare for what's Coming
For my part, I think the single biggest thing you should consider right now, is where you live. If you live near water, in a narrow valley, below a dam, on a floodplain, or even just a low laying area, you should move.
Hurricane Harvey dropped a years worth of rain on Houston in just four days. That was a signal that a new energy state had been reached in the climate system.
In the years since then, storms like Harvey have become common. As it gets hotter, the atmosphere will take up more water. Wherever you live. When it rains, it's likely to be a deluge.
The biggest thing you should do to improve your survival odds right now is move to high ground if you can.
