the TL;DR of the IPCC report is this: now is really, really, really the time. if you don't consider yourself a climate activist, this note is for you. we have 30 months to upheave the world. it's time for everyone to get started somewhere, immediately. lmk if you need help

Folks are very frustrated that no ones listening about climate. But what if we’re not speaking their language? We have to articulate the action that needs to be done and explain how it’s going to produce results in terms people understand: money, efficiency, risk.

My friends, I am a person who will die at my desk or in the field doing all that I can to steward life on Earth. There’s so much doomerism and fear in our crowd, & while I can’t disagree that our view looks p bleak, it has a dampening effect on spirit. Cheerleading would help us.

The only people who would argue this are folks who have no familiarity with folks who live rurally. We discard the values of others because we don’t know anything about them. This is a vector that starts with disrespect and ends somewhere in human rights problems.

I’m really worried about what’s happening in the Yucatán, with the

My sense is that he may have actually cared but is communicating in a bad way — underneath “here’s what’s wrong with you” is “this is what I wish there was”. If it’s about connection maybe it’s fixable (in general). If structural “you suck”… that sucks! Hang in there ❤️

Hugely respect your work and efforts here--but this, I fear, is a mistake. Narcissism results from emotional wounding which is increasingly common, and bears tremendous suffering and destruction for everyone around the narc. Isn't it fair to say we have an epidemic of narcissism?
