For most people on this planet, climate change threatens to become existential - and retreating into depression and apathy is not an option. This includes the question of what motivates people to take action on climate change (or not) or to worry about it (or not). It's really difficult and depressing to keep reading and researching about how people and ecosystems are suffering from climate change. However, in my opinion, deep concern can provide the necessary energy to investigate all possible causes and solutions to a problem. Since climate change is a “wicked problem” for which there is no clear solution, we really need this engagement.
