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

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.

These are both so true, and #2 is a big part of why I've been working on holding climate grief circles with my Sunrise hub. We really really really need more spaces where people can process their climate feelings so they can move through them to take action.
