I've been trying to find ways to make talking about climate change "easier". Its a really horrible subject and simply saying "really, really bad stuff will happen if we do nothing" is far from motivating or inspiring. If anything, it invites apathy simply because it can make us feel powerless, insignificant and our efforts futile.
Depression is well-known to affect the scientists who study the subject, so part of adapting to climate change means finding new and constructive ways to think about it.
Climate depression is for real. Just ask a scientist
So, instead of focusing on the doom and gloom, I'm wondering if anyone has ideas about how climate change may infact be an oppurtunity for our society to sieze, that can embolden and inspire us to action?
