Climate Dread
Via mariuss’ weblog (discovered accidentally, provides an unusually high signal-to-noise ratio for a random blog), this Canadian article entitled Coping with Climate Dread. Read it. Then read Elizabeth Kolbert’s article, “The Darkening Sea: Carbon Emissions and the Ocean” in last week’s New Yorker Magazine. (Sadly, the content does not appear to be online — if the New Yorker put only one article online, it should have been that one. As a consolation, there’s a short excerpt here, and a related article is available from last year.)
It’s become a lot harder to think about this problem since I had a kid.
