Increasing concern about climate change is good, but I think that is not the basic problem. Rather it is how "concern" gets translated into domestic policy and into our stance at COP meetings.
What about a movie about a gorgeous economist and her yummy environmentalist boyfriend who have to fight off naive environmentalists who oppose taxing net CO2 (because they are secretly being paid by EVIL FOSSIL FUELS CORPORATIONS) culminating in a dramatic 50-50 vote in the Seante with the VP casting the deciding vote to pass the tax. :)
Thanks for this post. I wrote about the balance of hope, apathy and scaremongering in climate change and biodiversity communication recently, here: https://predirections.substack.com/p/on-hope-apathy-and-scaremongering
Hope you don't mind me sharing.
