Wildfires in Canada and Hawaii. Hurricane Hilary set to strike California. Scientists have warned about worse storms and more frequent fires for years.
I want to know how climatologists recommend dealing with depression.
Since I read this more often recently:
I don’t think the scientists are the right address for that. Scientists expertise is mostly factual, emotionless calculus and number evaluation. Some might deal with the same fears, just hiding them from the public.
Probably a scientist who has also expertise in psychology would do, though.
But ultimately, I think, the fear’s and depression’s origin comes from the knowledge that the way we live makes the situation only worse.
So the only way to get rid of that conflict in the mind would be a meaningful change in the way we live.
As that doesn’t seem happen, we can only work to deal with the situation.
