Another disturbing #ClimateCrisis dream last night.
A huge tsunami caused by rising sea levels in the form of a kilometer high wave was oncoming. Thankfully I made it to high ground safely, but was able to see all of the drowned bodies floating in the water. 😔

Hyperbolic discounting makes people favor comfort today over climate action tomorrow. This bias delays change, even as risks grow—showing why clear, immediate incentives matter. #ClimatePsychology

Climate change challenges our sense of safety, triggering fear and denial. Understanding these reactions helps communities stay engaged and adaptive. #ClimatePsychology

People normalize extremes (normalcy bias), underestimate slow-moving threats (temporal discounting), and focus on immediate discomfort instead of systemic climate drivers. #ClimatePsychology #BehavioralScience #ClimateChange

Climate change isn’t just melting ice—it’s melting our sense of control. Anxiety rises as seasons slip out of sync, reminding us how deeply our minds depend on a stable planet. #EcoAnxiety #ClimatePsychology

Climate change isn’t just science—it’s psychology. People freeze, deny, or detach when the threat feels too big. The shift starts in the mind before it happens in policy. #ClimatePsychology #MindShift

"Surveys show that the increasing number of extreme climate events, including floods, wildfires and hurricanes, has not raised awareness of the threats posed by climate change.
Instead, people change their idea of what they see as normal."

Psychologists call it “constructive hope,” the kind rooted in agency, community, and purpose.
It motivates action, not replaces it.
