I relate to this. @andrewboyd’s new book, “I Want a Better Catastrophe: Navigating the Climate Crisis with Grief, Hope and Gallows Humor” has an excellent chapter using the 5 stages of Grief. You and he both articulated this well.

Whether or not this is the summer that the penny dropped for you on the climate emergency, @andrewboyd's new book I Want a Better Catastophe is a hopeful guide through what you might think otherwise as hopeless times. My latest edition of The Connector: open.substack.com/pub/thecon…
Launched our online and interactive flowchart with the stellar team of folks over at @uclab_potsdam .
This special project explores our collective climate predicament, taking aim at a far-flung future where a better catastrophe *is* possible.
Check it!

Happy to be hosting @andrewboyd on his book tour for #BetterCatastrophe, with the carbon budget vs renewables clock @climateclock
I’m on a coast-to-coast stand-up tragedy roadshow. It’s a cross between a TED talk, comedy hour, fire-side chat, grief counseling session, and “what can I (still) do?” workshop. Would love to see you there. bettercatastrophe.com/tour #bettercatastrophe
Excited to be back in the Twitterverse. Been busy writing a book. Check out the full review in @ForewordReviews. The existential manual for tragic optimists, can-do pessimists, and compassionate doomers. bit.ly/3xaTcpu #bettercatastrophe
