Carbon capture and storage is making a comeback
Paul Hawken: Ending The Climate Crisis In One Generation
10. The Psychology of Climate Anxiety with Tenaya
Today we are discussing the psychology of climate anxiety especially in light of recent announcements of a code red for humanity due to climate change. I’m joined by Tenaya, our in house expert on all things sustainability, to discuss how climate anxiety manifests, the psychology of climate denial and how to take care of yourself when faced by dread about the future of the planet.

A ‘Code Red for Humanity’
This episode contains strong language.
A major new United Nations scientific report has concluded that countries and corporations have delayed curbing fossil-fuel emissions for so long that we can no longer stop the impact of climate change from intensifying over the coming decades. In short, the climate crisis has arrived, and it’s going to get worse before it can get better.
In this episode, we explore the main takeaways from the report — including what needs to happen in the narrowing window of climate opportunity to avoid the most devastating outcomes.
Guest: Henry Fountain, a reporter covering climate for The New York Times
