From The Guardian: Climate depression is real. And it is spreading fast among our youth: This is a crisis that cannot be solved by ‘positive messaging’. The only thing that will help is action from world leaders

From the article:

Perhaps you experience the psychological tension caused by feeling trapped between the truth of climate and ecological destruction on the one hand and inaction from world leaders on the other.

In other news, I found this article on Twitter, and found it both amusing, but also both very frustrating. From Gawker: MEET AUSTRALIA’S BATSHIT INSANE MINING BILLIONAIRES If you want to know why a country that regularly catches fire has such disastrous climate policy, start here.  It's amusing for obvious reasons, but its frustrating how in every country, there are rich people with too much influence in government who are probably going to get us all killed in the next 30 years.  From the article:

For a country that regularly bursts into flame, this is a weird way to go about things. It only makes sense when know that Australia has a massive mining industry, which has created a crop of billionaires who are both near-omnipotent and unbelievably weird. They donate huge sums to nearly every political party, own stakes in the country’s biggest media companies, and get massive amounts of public funding to pursue their pet obsessions.
