All welcome

Almost everyone – climate activists included- experiences moments of despair about climate change. Piling on information about the size and threat of the problem can create cynicism and hopelessness. George Marshall asks if we sometimes unwittingly contribute to public apathy and whether there are ways to think and talk about climate change that can give us renewed energy and make the future seem exciting and positive.
