Me, with a Bullhorn: DEMANDING THAT EVERYONE WORK CEASELESSLY FOR THE MYTH OF "STOPPING" CLIMATE CHANGE RELATED TRAGEDIES IS DISHONEST BECAUSE WE HAVE ALREADY WARMED THE PLANET ENOUGH THAT SOME TRAGEDY IS INEVITABLE. WE WILL LIVE TO SEE HORRIBLE SUFFERING, WE HAVE ALREADY GUARANTEED THIS WITH THE WARMING WE HAVE BOUGHT INTO, AND BELITTLING THOSE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT AS "PESSIMISTS" OR "CLIMATE DOOMISTS" IS WRONG. YOUR INABILITY TO LET ACTIVISTS GRIEVE IS A PRODUCT OF CAPITALISM'S DEMAND FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY AT ALL TIMES, AND PATRIARCHY'S HATRED OF ANY EMOTION THAT IS NOT AGGRESSIVE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GRIEVE INTERMITTENTLY, ALLOWING THIS WILL ACTUALLY MAKE OUR MITIGATION EFFORTS EASIER BECAUSE REPRESSED GRIEF IS DEBILITATING. ACKNOWLEDGING THE TRAGEDY OF THE WAY THINGS ARE IS NOT THE SAME AS RESIGNING TO TRAGEDY WITHOUT RESISTANCE. CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENCE COMMUNICATORS MUST DO BETTER!
