I hope “you” get something out of it.
I hope in general, as a trainee old-fart, that you get a sense that we have been “here” before repeatedly on climate change, and that you get a sense of what has been tried and hasn’t worked (though of course different people will have different answers to these questions).
Specifically
- If you’re a student being asked to research/think/write about climate change, I hope there is some stuff here that helps you on your way
- If you are a citizen trying to change things, you’ll find some perspectives on just how hard it can be (see smugosphere, emotacycle, ego-fodder, the January 4th 2023 problem, etc.)
- If you’re a fellow academic, I hope you’ll think about doing a guest post about something that happened and why we should care (the “so what?” question). Can’t offer you money, REF points or whatever, but a warm inner glow might be enough?
