  • Understanding climate change and how we're unravelling our world is gruelling. And to work as a climate scientist and communicator means you're constantly juggling emotions - from hope to climate anxiety. So where do we find our hope and our courage to continue? And how can we manage our feelings so that working on global warming is not only bearable, but brilliant!

    Definitely something I've been struggling with. I'm honestly not sure how much it helps, but something I keep in mind is that every thing we do to make the world better, no matter how short it falls of what we need, still makes the world better. World leaders could do nothing about climate change for the next 50 years and it would lead to enormous preventable suffering, but it would still be worth starting to do things even at that stage

    Thank you for an awesome video on climate grief - and it's not just for climate scientists. Everybody who loves nature etc or cares about our world is watching - in horror - as our planet suffers. It's really gut-wrenching.
    I see climate restoration like a puzzle with lots of little pieces coming together to create a big picture of a sustainable future for everyone. Many pieces of the puzzle slowly coming together all over the world
    - restorative agriculture (permaculture)
    - ecological restoration
    - renewable energy
    - greener industry & manufacturing
    - greener construction
    - expansion of urban transit & EV rollout
    - greener steel & cement processes available
    - waste reduction efforts & the circular economy
    Several international agreements have recently been negotiated & being implemented, albeit piece meal
    - 2030 Agenda & 17 SDGs
    - New Urban Agenda
    - Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction
    - the new Biodiversity agreement
    - a new agreement on the High Seas
    - a new deep sea mining agreement?
    I'm actually quite "amused" by participant behaviour at COP 28 vs DAVOS 2024. I'm thinking the UN should hold the climate COPs just after the DAVOS meetings - not before it - perhaps then we will have a different outcome!
    We understand the climate crisis in terms of physics & chemistry, but the climate crisis is due to human decision-making & world view... the realm of the social scintists & humanities.
    And if most people will live in cities by 2050'ish then climate solutions must also come cities. Check out cities such as Curitiba, Bogota, Medellin, Tirana, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Singapore awa many cities in Scandanavia etc. The move to a sustainable world is starting to come from cities involving a large proportion of the global population. A "city" in India (I think it's quite small) is now operating on 100% renewable energy, mainly solar. Generally once something difficult has been achieved once, more successes follow soon after.
    The pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming together; we often don't see it because they are very small still.
    I recently found an excellent YT channel "Planet Critical" with some very interesting interviews & discussions.
    Sabina (Science without the Gobbledygook) has also done two recent excellent vids on climate change. Hopefully the narrative is changing; hopefully just in time!

    I find a lot of similarities between fighting for climate change and demanding ceasefire for Palestine. They are a lot of proofs and signs and yet they are many forces that opposes and make things difficult. There's greenwashing and then there's propaganda and lies. And both elicits a lot of feelings of hope, courage, helplessness, fear etc. I hope the community for climate change will grow as much as the community for humanity against genocide is. Community definitely helps a lot in managing the feelings.

      I think the major problem is, while individual action is important, the actions of those in power positions matter much more. I don't mean just governments, I mean the richest 1%. They pollute on a scale greater than the poorest two thirds of the world's population. I have never owned a car, but that's insignificant next to the environmental impact of say, coca-cola or elon musk's jet.

    Hope and the courage to act are situated in the human capacity for empathetically driven social cooperation. This is evident in the countless daily expressions and acts of caring, consideration, altruism, and cooperation. The challenge is how to scale this up into transformative expressions of national and global human action....action that recalibrates existing power structures, distributions of wealth/material well-being, and extractive ecological footprints. Such transformative actions will arise when a sufficient mass of folks agree on the agenda and its goals. The challenge is for this to occur before 'the belly eats the backbone'........that is before ecological crises such as sea level rises and storm surges dislocate further 100s of millions, destroy infrastructure including access to food, water etc. to the extent that concern for accessing these overwhelms all.

    I note the IPCC at their 60th meeting in January just set their work programme for the 7th assessment cycle of the next 5 years. Besides the 3 Working Group reports and a Synthesis report, it includes : Special Report on Climate Change and Cities, Methodology Report on Short-lived Climate Forcers, Methodology Report on Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies, Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage. All three are important foundations for climate policy decision making in key areas. We need to take hope in science. We mostly have the technical climate solutions, but we need the political systems to take appropriate policy action leadership. Change is happening, but still way to slow.

    Mourning is a long cyclical process. I started my climate mourning maybe six years ago, and gone through at least three cycles. It's best to start early. I started mourning our civilization when I realized fairly early that no progress was being made -- at all. I am still not seeing any movement in doing anything differently that would actually make a difference. So, the process continues, but now I understand the situation and my position in it. If you are wondering, yes, it's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. You are not going to get over it, but it will hurt a little less each year.

    Thank you both so much for sharing your thoughts so openly! Climate change and [gestures at everything around in general] can often feel very overwhelming. Great to hear your tips on how to deal with that if you don't have the option to just hide under a rock for... uh... four months.
    Courage instead of hope is something I'll have to keep in mind! For actions I've found that a lot of the "classic" things to do, protests, writing to representatives etc, are kinda draining to me. Interacting with strangers is hard lol. Still important and I won't stop doing that! But I hope to find something to make a difference that fits my skillset a bit more. Maybe volunteering for bicycle repairs or something more "handsy" like that. Might help with the getting courage part, although it'd only be a very small impact.
    Do you have any ideas of how to support the climate movement that are maybe less obvious? I'm sure there's a lot of behind the scenes work that never gets seen, but is still important. (As in, part-time volunteering stuff. I think there's already websites that list professional jobs that have an impact.)

    For me, the only time I get exasperated with You Tube climate commentators is when they say things like 'we have the technology in place to address this issue' which is simply untrue (yet I hear it all the time). And videos that suggest staying within 1.5 degrees is remotely possible. Yes, there is hope, and there is so much still to fight for, but the first step to making change is recognising where we're at.

    @schiffelers3944 4 месяца назад

    "We'd hoped we be doing." "Hopless-ness" (helplessness is not the same). "Actions underway;" *the change is not waiting and also already left the station.* This is not a binary thought of mind. Glad Ela mentioned this towards the end in refering to some one. But this had me from the start of the video since it is used a lot through out, even in the end. Hope is not the best communicative word for the material world/realm, very inactive, fingers crossed and hope for the best vs putting your shoulder under it and your backs into it. (Adam it's not hopes and fears, but; *desires and fears,* more active than a dreamstate illusion, ideology) *Abandon hope.* (Avatar The last air bender, Serpents pass.)
    It is depressing Adam, it can be very nihilistic. We need to acknowledge also the facts "science" has.
    And yet the opposite is the messaging of; optimism and hope and motivation for change "now",
    which sadly is not taking place in realitiy aka the real world at the pace that it should have taken place. Captain Planet! Never came.
    With reasons, as you also know. The rings of power do not align yet. COP28
    "It's not too late, if we would ...." "we could still avoid the worse." ... [which we should, don't get me wrong]
    Instead focus on the scientific fact that the sealevels will rise 5 meters in the future, and probably even more.
    We need to adapt to these facts to prevent catastrophes.
    These fact should matter motivations in the now.
    Not just limiting and "prevention".
    What if we farmed the cyanobacteria of the evolution story which created the oxygen world and made it become more habitable, they consumed CO2 and I think they are easier to mass produce than the trees we took down with our deforestations. All links in the chain of life on earth, and its hospitability to life on earth/land.
    That is what you should preach in a way. Communicators & communications + messages/messagings; courage, adaptation & resilliance vs hope, Adam & Ella, should we give up? Nope. Should we settle for a bare minimum? Nope. Should we accept the negative aspects? Yes.
    We should not just keep focus on the positive of neutral, the negative also matters.
    Expect the worse / set the bar low... but aim for the stars/sky. Achievements fester confidence.
    There are issues with science, not just the image, branding and PR's.
    Science image - facts cold, hard, impartial (it's not always that we are humans after all, not bot. Even if we were we would be programmed by flawed humans)
    Humans are not wired like that, neither are scientist above their cultural or academic biases etc.
    "From a scientific perspective you can't say that."
    This reminds me on how "psychology" was not "allowed" to give a general assesment on Trumps psychology, even if some did warn and got repremanded. It there clearly is some form of censorships in sciences; we should be allowed to scratch behind our ears and raise our eye brows.
    Green/renewable energy & powergrids failures, bump in the road, a new problem we overlooked. Patterns we should also take into account in our scientific approach. Don't you think?
    If it "had happened" wouldn't that be the news instead? Not things continualy getting worse. Remember it's always darkest before dawn.
    Maybe I just accepted my role in society as a Debby downer... we all got our place and role in society.

    Farms should farm native stuff stop chemical use and start using organics like we did before chemicals where a thing in farms.
    All that can help reduce water use chemical use and help are own personal health.
    We should also plant by seed native flowers shrubs cactus trees whatever along the empty middle bit in freeways and hyways but mostly see it in hyways.
    Also off ramps on other side of sound walls as there require 100 or more feet before homes can be put up.
    Then when they get big enough you can remove the sound wall and plant there too reducing noise by a lot as plants reduce sound soo well if your in a thick forest you can't hear someone screaming just 200 feet away.

Perhaps a tipping point in consciousness may occur when enough humans take matters in their own hands and dedicate lives to sacrificing that very life as a commitment to a higher truth: that individual life means nothing much at all in the larger picture. This is the commitment of war. Which side are you on?

    Millions of people are now suffering climate anxiety and depression. When the realization of just how bad climate change is now finally registers with a person, it is a soul crushing experience. It is like receiving a death sentence or a fatal diagnosis. The best thing for people to do is to allow themselves to feel the full range of emotions and feelings and to process their intense grief. The loss of sea ice, the loss of normalcy in the weather, the loss of human habitat, and all the other losses that climate change brings, creates intense grief. Grief can be processed. It took me 3 years of intense grieving to reach acceptance. Once a person reaches acceptance, they will feel stronger and even more strongly motivated to do everything they can to save Life on Earth. Climate change is no longer a gradual linear process. It is now abrupt, exponential, and irreversible. In my view, multiple cascading tipping points have now been breached and are combining exponentially to end all life on Earth by 2030.

      My climate anxiety has been bad in the past year and I have done just what you said: making space for my emotions, prioritizing my mental health, and doing what I can to help (not just the carbon footprint thing, which even as a teenager I knew was far from enough). I am starting to educate and challenge those around me, making art to increase awareness on the subject, I volunteer, I try my best to abstain from huge carbon footprint activities like driving and eating meat/dairy. I have even been thinking of learning to forage, to get closer with nature and reduce my carbon footprint in terms of food consumption, hoping to inspire others as well. My parents are climate doomerists, but I try my best to not let them get to my head like I did in the past.

    The data shows that there may be an additional cause for global warming which may also have much less time lag and so faster remediation.
    This is an ALSO not an instead of GHG controls. If it turns out we can control the temperature of the planet by adjusting the dark matter flow only then do you reevaluate the big picture! The data says the lag time from the sun to the temperature at the poles is about 60 days!! If we prove we can control the temperature of the planet by either redirecting or vaporizing Liquid dark matter then we can think about harnessing that heat or redirecting it to Mars to kick start its magnetic field field or if nothing else warm it up. Alternatively if the earth cools to much we could siphon some from Venus to warm the planet. Assuming the vaporization is done around L1 we could see the change in a week. Redirecting from Venus would take longer.
    All of the planets in the solar system are showing signs of heating up.
    Dark matter phase transitions could be a primary climate driver. If the solar system passes through an area of higher liquid dark matter content the planets cores would all receive more heat due to increased phase transitions thus heating the earth from the inside out. The dark matter content may even be virtually the same but the fact that we are facing into the hurricane may increase it’s effects.
    Heating of the planet from the inside out would result in :
    Increased ground temperatures
    Increased sea temperatures
    Increased nighttime temperatures
    Increased seismic activity
    Increased earthquakes

    Venus atmospheric temperatures from 2009-2017 also were higher after conjunctions
    Venus atmospheric rotation takes 4 days - atmospheric tsunami takes on average 5 (4.9?) days to circle Venus since 1986 this could be caused by an offset dark mater sphere as a result of wobble induced by overflow of LDM every 5 days when the sphere is closest to the sun. This departing kick is what keeps the offset between Venus and its dark matter sphere which then accumulates LDM for 5 more days. The interval from the data I found varies from 4-6 days the 6 day stretch was after the 2022 conjunction which may have depleted its dark matter reserves resulting in a slower tsunami rotation. The clouds at that level take 5.7 days to circle the planet (tsunami speed = 328 kph)
    The earths core also has an 8.47 day astronomically induced wobble.(LDM sphere)

    Sorry, ClimateAdam, you would be more convincing if you talked less and argued the case more. Then you would be better able to see the holes in the arguments that claim 'atmospheric CO2 causes changes of a planet's surface temperature'.
    All the evidence available is that it is, or a given distance from its star, to a first approximation, only surface pressure influences a planet's surface temperature.
    By far the best example is Venus, a planet with a surface pressure of 95 bar. A pressure, which, apart from a closer proximity to the Sun, accounts accurately for the high surface temperature found on Venus.

      Unfortunately, when you do the science and math of the situation of a global scale, to regenerate Earth's ecosystems, we not only must stop CO2 emissions, global beed consumption and cattle populations must drop sharply. Cattle and sheep are just such an incredibly land-intensive way to produce calories and nutrients that their overall global effects are eco-destructive. 38% of Earth's habitable land (former wilderness) has been taken over by raising livestock and their feed (by contrast, all out cities only occupy about 2% of Earth's habitable land). As for vegan diets, the science is VERY clear that vegan, vegetarian, or very low meat diets are what's best for the planet--and by a wide margin. For example, if everyone went vegan tomorrow, we would need 75% less land to feed everyone and we could re-wild and reforest an area the size of North America plus Brazil, with mind-blowing benefits for restoring biodiversity.
      Fewer cattle = more wilderness + more wildlife. Period.
