Two groups differently minded about climate chane. The first group are those who think we will just get through this but that we have to work at it. Thoughtful and resourceful. Not so thoughtful that you can't act, not so busy that you can't think. Human ingenuity and unpredicted large events (science, nature, culture might come to meet them halfway.)
The second group are those so think we are done for, soon, within two years or sooner. Lot of fact on their side: CO2 is rising, and worse, rising faster, and the quantity is a fact against success.\ The result is unstoppable;e temperature rise with all the destruction it will continue, and accelerating, cause.
Both groups are worthy of respect and I am finding ways to write to both. Paying attention to the dynamics in a garden helps with suggestions and metaphors (Road by our front gate in Sonoma County).
