Navigating the climate tragedy — my first steps into Deep Adaptation

2019 was the year the climate crisis finally clicked in my mind.

I had been gradually believing that I should dedicate more of my life to “common good” kind of things. Being more politically active, eating less meat, making inequality a topic at the dinner table, etc.

A crisis that does not really have a fix.
If nothing is done, consequences will make all other problems irrelevant. And even if everything is done, the world is going to be a very different place.

Of course, this has been a common awakening for many other people. On the one hand, it’s sort of comforting to be able to talk about climate at work, at the dinner table and pretty much everywhere. On the other hand, how did it become fashionable to hate Greta?
