A node of sanity in these challenging times.
Bill Weir is America's leading climate reporter. His new book is a celebration of our planet and human brilliance. It is a hopeful plea for communities to rally around nature, new ideas and each other, to create the kind of resilience that lasts generations.
In this episode we talk about:
- How a hotter earth is increasingly changing our lives
- Why some experts say the climate issue is half physics, half psychology
- How to work with feelings like rage and despair
- Why so many of us look away from the climate crisis
- Why acceptance is not surrender
- And the utility of class psychological frameworks, including Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' Five Stages of Grief
