Where's the Outrage? The Paradox of Inaction in the Climate Crisis

In this episode we revisit the complicated human emotion of FEAR. In our last episode we argued that fear could be the driving motivational factor for inciting eco-action. We took another look human psychology of fear, and found out, even though we’re living through an unprecedented climate and ecological disaster, it is shocking that most Americans and global citizens aren’t cowering in fear every day about the future of their loved ones and our planet.You would think that the prospect of humankind radically altering the Earth’s ecosystems that it depends on for survival would merit a little more than ticking off a box that says “Climate Concerned.”The recent and ongoing catastrophic weather events globally indicate we have crossed a dangerous threshold of warming.WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?       WHY ARE WE NOT FREAKING OUT?Listen in for some lively insights about how millions are dying annually from pollution, wildlife and whole ecosystems on the verge of collapse, combined with the scale and speed with which this whole drama is unfolding, are we simply overwhelmed? Is it easier just to ignore the whole mess?Stay tuned to the end where we deliver, oh, maybe just only a thousand hands-on opportunities to shape our climate future rather than become its whimpering victims. Episode Webpage "A CALL TO ACT" :  A Comprehensive On-line Encyclopedia of Eco-SolutionsMentioned in the Podcast EpisodeCitizen Science Volunteer OpportunitiesEco-Adoption Programs
