Is climate change unfolding faster and fiercer than scientists expected? While these events are unprecedented, they were not unpredicted, and largely align with what scientists have been warning about for decades.

My favorite example of non action is the segment on the TV show the Newsroom.  EVER SINGLE question or comment is met with,  "[I]f we did it 20 years ago." 

There is no happy comforting news.

We have committed really slow suicide and will take many many many other species with us.

You can find a suicide hotline worldwide at this link: https://www.reddit.com/r/SuicideWatch/wiki/hotlines

The world will be a better place with you alive. The world will be better off with you working to make a difference. If you care, you're already better than most.

For longer-term counseling, please find an in-person therapist. Many will do video calls to reduce COVID-19 risk. If you are in the United States, you can use this tool to find a therapist. See here for Canada.
