Hey Dave, you weren't on the thread when I was replying to Kendra (scroll up from this one). Whenever we hear "what gives you hope", can we translate it in our minds to something like "what makes it possible for people to meaningfully act on climate?"https://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1227749758464225280 …

Dave, thank you for all of this. I need some time to think and process it, but it's helpful for me to know and begin to make sense of.
I don't know how we move people unless we engage in a deeply personal way. It's not fair, but it seems to be what we're dealing with. People aren't moved by numbers and stats. They're moved by courage and meaning. Of someone risking (financially, physically, emotionally).

Because that helps pop them out of their petro-normalized existence. Things *are* actually that bad. All the things we love and hold dear are in serious danger. We will continue to lose species and preciousness from here on out for the rest of our lives.

Thinking off the top of my head, so I may re-think this, but I don't know how to authentically engage on climate -- to be in touch with reality as much as I can be and not engage in a deeply personal way. And to do that is almost inherently emotional. How can it not be?
