Why? What’s hard about it? I honestly am trying to understand because it doesn’t sit like that for me.

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?

A couple of things: 1) Showing emotions, having emotions is feminized and because of sexism that is seen in society as bad/weak/etc. 2) People are NOT given enough support for the very big feelings the climate crisis brings up.
