This is incredibly depressing to me, it's very hard not to feel hopeless.

I cope with it by activism. Doesn't have to be something related to global warming, just anything, it makes you feel able to change world a little. Also, by working in a volunteer labor, you concentrate on presence and not waste your thoughts on things you have no power over.

I hear ya.

I get mad vs sad, but I'm not sure that's any better, frankly.

I am just apathetic. But I do think about people who have kids that have a bery bleak outlook. I don't feel anything but I'm sure if I did I'd be angry for them. I don't see any point in thinking about it much anymore when we have countries that have no regulations and the US trying to deregulate everything. Whatever... short sightedness and greed.

Hey friend, I've been there, I know the feeling.

It's not a solution or anything but this video was pretty helpful for me in dealing with some of those feelings, without pretending they don't exist.

Hope you're doing okay ♥
