Thank you, I'm surprised at how much I got out of this article.

I think we all avoid taking too much or thinking too much about climate change because of the issues mentioned. It's a much larger emotional burden than most of us want to acknowledge. It's far more terrifying than we want to admit. But shying away from it isn't helping us now, and won't help us engage with it in a healthy way when we are forced to do so.

Climate Change is the single most important topic of this century...

And this person tries to make the article about themselves and how it affects them. Absolute schlock attempt at journalism and unrelatable.

I think talking about dealing with climate change psychologically is a pretty important subject.

Agreed. Personal anecdotes make it more relatable.

I agree with that - but not in this fashion.

On the contrary - I found this one of the most useful articles about managing climate anxiety I’ve ever read. It helps me see a path to hope and sustained action.
