=====Climate ‘apocalypse’ fears stopping people having children – study===== | |||
===== Experience exceeds awareness of anthropogenic climate change in Greenland ===== | |||
[https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-023-01701-9 by Kelton Minor, Manumina Lund Jensen, David Dreyer Lassen & Minik T.Rosing 26/6/23 Nature Climate Change] | |||
Although Greenland is a hub for climate science, the climate perceptions of Greenland’s predominantly Indigenous population have remained largely unstudied. Here we present two nationally representative surveys and show that Greenlanders are more likely than residents of top oil-producing Arctic countries to perceive that climate change is happening and about twice as likely to have personally experienced its effects. However, half are unaware that climate change is human-caused and those who are most affected appear to be least aware. | |||
===== ‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost ===== | |||
[https://www.ipolitics.ca/2025/07/02/its-too-late-david-suzuki-says-the-fight-against-climate-change-is-lost/ by Davis Legree 2/7/25 POLITICS] | |||
In our first edition, iPolitics caught up with David Suzuki, noted environmentalist and longtime host of ‘The Nature of Things’ on CBC. At 89-years-old, Suzuki remains a fierce advocate for global climate action, but he spoke about recently coming to the conclusion that humanity has lost the fight against climate change, as well as the need to begin preparing for more severe and destructive natural disasters. | |||

===== Subcultures of collapse – will there be a convergence? ===== | |||
[https://jembendell.com/2025/06/08/subcultures-of-collapse-will-there-be-a-convergence/ by Prof Jem Bendell 8/6/25] | |||
Many environmentalists have shifted from climate activism to mourning and degrowth, influenced by recent climate data and science. Richard argues they see climate change as unable to be fixed technologically, and prioritise localism, harm reduction and emotional wellbeing, amid disillusionment with both state action and mainstream environmental narratives. | |||
