Climate "doomerism"

Many people are influenced by “climate doomism” – the belief that nothing can be done to slow or reverse global climate change and that the earth is doomed.  Others believe the problem is “too big” for anything they as an individual can do to have an effect.  Some believe that only governments and large companies need to change.  The link below leads to a BBC article that includes a discussion on the climate change problem and debunks the “doomerism” view that it’s already too late. 

The underlying theme of my blog is that small changes add up, and that if enough people, companies, and governments begin making changes, even if they start small, we CAN slow the rate of climate change and begin to work toward reversing the effects.  I’m not suggesting you sit at home in the dark and cold while everyone else parties.  We all need to include in our lives those things that bring us joy and connection with others.  However, almost everyone can make small changes without much impact on their overall quality of life and those small actions by individuals are part of the solution.  You can also get involved in helping on a larger scale by letting governments and corporations know you support actions to reduce climate change.  Action will be needed at all levels to solve this.  Let’s not give up on the earth and its inhabitants without trying to do something. 
Do what you can, where you are, with what you have.
