    I like this messaging!

    Sometimes the messaging is so depressing it makes you wonder if that rhetoric is being pushed by special interest groups in order to reduce engagement on climate action.

      It totally is. As my friend says “Despair is a commodity, don’t buy it”. We can turn things around, it isn’t too late. It is normal to be so overwhelmed that you become apathetic and can’t do anything…which has the same outcome as denial…who does that serve? The oil companies. I did an experiment and every doom and gloom article I actually followed it to the source which almost always a little different than what was being portrayed. “New study says we have passed this new threshold!” the actual study says we may pass this threshold if we don’t get rid of fossil fuels, or something similar etc.
