Welcome to one of Hale St. Isle’s essays. Here is a short read, part memoir and part analysis of the bleak modern situation, with a message from a doomer about the desperation brought on by climate change. Climate anxiety is anxiety and worry caused by the fact that life on earth just might not make it through the world’s changing climate. Our world is in trouble, with the ice caps melting, oceans rising, temperatures rising, forests decimated, and weather events becoming more and more life threatening. Climate change has put the environment and all of life on the planet at risk. This book is an effort at coming to terms with the predicament we are in, as individuals, as societies, and as a world. We have to change rapidly to meet the demands of the problem, and the lousy truth is that we just might not do so in time.
