The psychology of responding to the Global Warming dilemma has long fascinated me. As a long-term climate activist involved in the UN Earth Charter initiative at the turn of this century I tried to do my part by learning more and writing, as well as doing numerous public presentations and keynote speeches. I’ve followed and leaned from a few eco-psychologists but their presence and influence in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast is still pretty minuscule. Glad to have found you. You make a lot of sense and help me to better understand why humans are reacting so incongruously by committing ecocide.
