What is Climate Hopium?

There is sadly no shortage of bad news on the climate. We need to act, and act fast. This newsletter is here to focus on the positive climate stories, the ones that give us hope that together, we can turn hope into action and a better future.

I’m a UK based climate campaigner and have been for over 20 years now. My view on action is that we need more of it and in all areas - hope helps inspire action and action helps to overcome dispair.

Let us create a virtuous circle of climate action!

A few key reads:

• Points of action you can take

• Imagining a world without climate chaos!

• The 8 areas that make me feel positive on climate action (now 10 areas that make me feel positive!)

• Understanding the ‘carbon bubble’ and how brittle it is.

• The science of how hope helps make action. (Or why despair disempowers us from action)
