5 Tips for Dealing with Climate Anxiety and Negative News

1. Find your balance.

Too little awareness might lead to anxiety and stress and too much can overwhelm you. Recognize that we’re all on different resilience levels and some people can consume more negative news than others. By knowing yourself and your limits, you can begin to recognize when you feel overwhelmed and take a break. Take it bitesize and grow your emotional resilience over time.

2. Practice healthy denial.

All of us are denying climate news to one degree or another. It simply would be impossible to live and function if we were to think about it all the time. Denial isn’t always bad and tuning out from time to time is essential for our well-being.

3. Mix in optimism.

A good way to consume negative news is to follow up with something positive. That way you can stay aware without feeling like you lose yourself to anxiety and stress. It’s OK to find reasons to smile amongst all the bad and YOU -- the climate hero choosing to work on your emotional resilience -- deserve it more than anybody! So seek out the good news too. Listen to music that uplifts you. Sing, dance, and enjoy life. Do that and you’ll be much better equipped to do something about the things you’re learning.

4. Talk about it.

By sharing what you’re learning with others you might find that you’re not alone in your worries, which will help ease anxiety. Also, normalizing climate conversations is one of the most important ways to fuel climate action. Just keep in mind that their emotional resilience might be very different from yours -- tread lightly and with kindness.

5. Fear + Grief = Empowered Action.

Grief alone can consume you. Fear alone can push you into a paralyzed state. But when combined in healthy doses, and applied to an attitude of wanting to make change, you can fuel it into empowered action. So don’t just learn and let go -- empower yourself and do something about it! Knowing what you know now, what can you do today to make it better? Choose to act and be the change, and be assured the world will follow.

How will you go about this today? Can you practice learning something difficult without diving into either denial or despair? Practice growing your emotional resilience by consuming a piece of news that might upset you, and choose one or many tips to let what you learned empower you.


You’ve got this!

Not responsibilities, opportunities!
Forget about doom & gloom, guilt, and despair. Fear and shame have never sparked change.
For that, you need creativity, optimism, and hope!

that’s a bad combo… you need SEEKING to identify solutions, CARE to give a gently caress about others (makes you feel good), and PLAY to manifest social joy. you can find many ways to modulate these systems, I’m sure this will give an idea:



(PANIC and grief are very intertwined deep down and is sometimes listed as PANIC/grief. all caps to distinguish these specific hypothesized constructs from the typical colloquial use in everyday language.)

illustration of how some of these interact based on an earlier affective science rulebook:


it’s all ultimately kinda fake but fun to consider.

Heat Advisory
Until Mon 11 pm PDT

Action Recommended
Execute a pre-planned activity identified in the instructions
Issued By
Seattle/Tacoma - WA, US, National Weather Service
Affected Area
Portions of northwest and west central Washington
Description
...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM PDT THIS EVENING...

WHAT...Hot conditions with high temperatures in the upper 80s to low to mid 90s today. Overnight low temperatures this morning will likely only cool into the 60s for many locations. This will pose a moderate risk of heat-related illness.

WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Washington.

WHEN...Until 11 PM PDT this evening.

IMPACTS...Hot conditions will increase the risk of heat-related illnesses for those who are sensitive to heat, especially those without effective cooling or adequate hydration.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A significant increase in cold- and high- water related incidents is possible. Recent rains and late snowmelt has lead to high, fast and cold flows on area waterways. Cold water shock can lead to life-threatening hypothermia within minutes. Use extreme caution if recreating near water, wear a life jacket, and supervise children closely.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.

For sheltering information and other human services in your area, dial 2 1 1 during business hours or visit wa211.org anytime.

gently caress, I just can't believe poo poo sometimes

https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2021/06/how-the-fossil-fuel-industry-convinced-americans-to-love-gas-stoves/

just in the past few years the Gas industry convinced everyone that gas stoves actually own and banning new gas lines means that you can't use your favorite cooking element. The reason they did this is because it means that people with gas lines can also use gas heating, gas water heaters, all that kind of in-home gas use.

and don't get me wrong, I've used the lovely old electric coil stoves, and they suck, but apparently induction stoves are supposed to own now? and no stove sucks worse than climate change

It's maddening

I just, gently caress, idk

This was a good video that goes over the gas stove poo poo. Also he duct taped the mic to his chest

Induction owns so much that as a prole goon stuck with hotplates, my induction hotplates are good enough to make friends with proper cooktops jealous or even buy one to supplement them. They own own own. Boils water in a snap, instant heat, just wipe it down to clean etc.

I mean gently caress that was always my chief complaint with the coil based stoves. Never cared about how slow they were, it was taking them apart to clean or using those element covers that you still have to clean - just a pain.

poo poo I didn't even think about induction hotplates existing. And you can even set the temp on them? That owns, I will probably try one out at some point

I wonder if induction has anything limiting the heat on the upper end. An induction wok to get those high temps would own

I bought an induction plate when my stove broke and I was saving/researching a new one. It ruled so much that I ended up with a full on induction stove. Highly recommend. a++ the duxtops are all great. I make stir fry on my induction with a wok a lot and it gets smoking hot in just a minute or so on high. I have to be very aggressive about movement and dropping the temp when im stepping away for ingredients lol

my wok has kind of a flatter bottom so it can make a good connection the stove but otherwise the inner curve is all good and I can shake and toss the food pretty well.

Induction, in principle, can heat things to far greater temperatures than gas. But I think the issue with an induction wok is unless you have a special curved induction hob, it won't be able to deliver heat to the wok appropriately (because parts of the wok will be too far away for efficient inductive coupling). You can probably get good enough results, especially if you have a wok with good thermal conductivity.
