The Climate Change Paper So Depressing It's Sending People to Therapy
Have fun guys. I'll note that the paper didn't really affect my mood at all, because it's stuff I already knew. Maybe slightly improved it, because I haven't thought of resilience as a strategy. At least it's something to try besides betting on besides eucatastrophe.
It's hard to explain how you feel when you really understand the effects of climate change. I just have this profound guilt about what we're doing. All of the species that are gone, and all of the animals who have suffered. The people who have died in the Syrian Civil War, because I didn't do enough the the past decades to prevent the drought. I'm not saying it's all my fault, but it doesn't change the fact that my inaction has made me a murderer.
Rob can attest that I felt this way a few days ago, before I read the paper.
