Why it's Not Too Late for Climate - and What to Do
A great new book and online project seeks to tug those who are paralyzed or confused by distorted #climateemergency framings toward engagement and impact.

I hope you’ll give a listen to this dose of grounded climate and development optimism from three wonderful contributors to the new essay collection and online project called Not Too Late - Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possiblity.
I’m still trying to gauge who among you wants audio podcasts. Please let me know through my feedback form!
My guests are:
the best-selling author and activist Rebecca Solnit
the University of Maine paleoecologist and masterful communicator Jacquelyn Gill
the Clark University climate geographer and IPCC report lead author Edward Carr
(Thelma Young Lutunatabua, who is book co-editor with Solnit and a digital storyteller and activist, couldn’t join from Fiji because of family duties but I’ll have her on soon!)
I really like seeing the faces in these conversations and if that’s your preference, too, you can watch (and please share!) this Sustain What show on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn or YouTube…
Why it's Not Too Late for Climate - and What to Do
"Doom and gloom" preclude the possibility of a positive vision of the future* which we can all work towards. Dwelling on the negative makes building the positive response much more difficult.
*Not that the climate or modern environmental movements have ever fully developed a positive vision of a future that we can all share in common.
