> I struggle with it deeply because the effects of climate change are so obvious now.

To anyone paying attention, it was obvious in the 1980s too. We all go through that depressing realisation that we are but a pebble or a drop of water. But mountains are built from pebbles, and oceans from drops of water. Every generation is getting louder, I just need them to also get more political. Vote. Speak. Protest. And not just about the environment, but also social needs, like education, health, poverty, excess. Because if people are barely surviving, they will struggle to have the resources to face the bigger problems.

We aren't going to die out. So we need to deal with our weaknesses as best we can, individually and together.
