Kim Stanley Robinson in NATURE magazine:

What do you tell young people who worry about climate change? I often talk to undergraduates about climate dread. They are the people of the future, because they'll be here in 2075. Thinking about all the things that have to be accomplished by 2050 to avoid crossing tipping points into unavoidable catastrophe - of course you have climate dread. So I try to tell them that it means that your life has a project, you have existential meaning. You are not caught in the nihilism of meaninglessness that was capitalist realism. In the 1980s, you saw bumper stickers on US cars that said 'he who dies with the most toys wins. It was sarcasm, but it also pointed to a lack of meaning. Why live, what is it all about? Well, now we have that answered. I also tell them: whatever you're interested in, whatever your personal interests are, that can become climate work. Arts, public policy, psychology, the sciences, engineering, the humanities, they can all become part of climate work. Just find your angle. But, at the same time, acknowledge that we're in an emergency, that something has to be done.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain
