Imagine spending 40 years telling the world what is going to happen if people don’t do something drastic, only to be mocked, paid lip service, and completely ignored. That pretty much says it all.
Cassandra and 12 Monkeys spring to mind.
I want to know how climatologists recommend dealing with depression. I feel like they might have some tips for me.
Soon it will be considered rude to bring up people’s climate change denials. They will say its very unfair of you to bring that up.
That’s what gets me.
“Climate activism should not be considered an altruistic endeavor. Instead, climate action should be viewed as an act of survival, a necessity.”
This right here. We criminalize and punish people for harming others and even property. It’s time to use this view against climate change by updating and enforcing criminal liability against major actors.
The actions harm other people and the actors do not care because the damage is mostly external. This is exactly what criminal justice systems are there to fix.

Group therapy helps scientists cope with challenging ‘climate emotions’
We know collective and individual climate action can alleviate negative climate emotions.
It’s very easy to fall into this vortex, right? Of thinking about climate change as a problem and not just climate change, but global environmental change, ecological loss.
The nature of academia means climate emotions overlap with “Intersectionality” to worsen their experience.
Our findings support the value of group therapy as a cathartic outlet for climate emotions among environmental scientists.
As a result, climate anxiety is likely to become more prolific, perhaps most so in climate scientists.
