#ClimateDiary have been seeing the “people need #hope to get engage in #ClimateAction” argument quite a lot recently, and it’s made me reflect.
For me, hope doesn’t actually come into it. I don’t care whether we have “hope” or not. For me it’s anger, fear, responsibility, guilt, and perhaos also (just to add one positive one) a growing sense of personal empowerment that drive me to try everything i can. These are all very strongly motivating emotions too
