Direct action on tyres
Not putting this on Facebook in case it inspires copycats. A climate change group has taken direct action against “gas guzzlers” in two towns in Cornwall letting down one or all tyres on 90 vehicles in one night. Sometimes a note is left telling the driver, sometimes no note is left but valve caps are taken off and a right size lentil inserted before replacing the cap, the intention being the tyre will slowly deflate as you are driving. SUVs were the main but not only target.

I heard about this happening in London at least 6 months ago. As you say, 'gas guzzlers' were the target; Range Rovers etc
Re: Direct action on tyres
The stupid thing is you could change your gas guzzler for a brand new electric car which during the manufacturing process has emmited something like 27000 tonnes or more if memory serves before it's even turned a wheel!
But of course that's ok!
A colleague of mine is s feeling the pressure to change his already efficient 2016 BMW for a brand new electric car but I've told him that he will be responsible for tens of thousands more Co2 being released into the atmosphere and it will take him several years it to be offset and probably never if he changes the car every 3 yrs because he's worried about the batteries packing up!
