The actions called for will be hard and complex, but they are ultimately essential to any serious solution to the climate crisis
Canada is on fire, California is flooding and Greenland’s glaciers are rapidly retreating. The effects of climate change are everywhere, and yet a coordinated and cohesive response to the single biggest threat to life on Earth is nowhere to be seen. The scale and scope of the crisis leads many to paralysis. The only rational way to deal with a crisis of unfathomable proportions is to ignore it, many have decided.
We don’t fault those who simply refuse to consider solutions to a problem that inevitably comes with a heaping side of existential dread.
