We Had All These Feelings Before

Many of us respond to the challenge of climate change with terror, deep discouragement, and a sense of powerlessness in the face of forces that seem way too big for us. However, we had all these feelings before we knew anything about threats to our environment. Climate change is like a magnet for these big, old feelings.

As we discharge and realize that these feelings are from the past, we will be in a much stronger position as we work toward elegant solutions to the problems of the present.
