Folks, we all need to become climate activists now. I know that's a strong statement because there are so many critical causes, but I stand by it. This will increasingly become life-or-death for an increasing number of people.

In fact, there are so many critical causes that the elites are utterly failing to address, that I am not sure what to do.

I do know that only the left holds the vision now. The right has entirely parted from reality, and the center thinks little tweaks are enough. They are not. But the left is uniquely bad at building coalitions and building power.

Meanwhile, the entire planetary system is careening irreversibly toward a physical state that will be irreconcilable with civilization at its current scale. Of this, I am certain. I'm not sure what else to say right now. I'm breathing smoky air and I don't feel well.

I guess, I will add, that I am sorry. I'm sorry we're at this point, and I'm sorry for this dark thread. Also that I can't tell anyone how to be an activist. I am getting less polite, and more direct. But for now here are some suggestions that might help:

Also, here's a brief description of climate emergency mode. I think we have to start thinking differently, where we are grateful for things like food, life, community; and obsessed w equality and stopping further breakdown.
