A pregnant woman is overwhelmed with prenatal advice by well-meaning friends, most of it nonsense. So for a while she stop listening to any advice. She finally begins listening again when she finds a source she trusts. She compares this to the counterproductive effects of a certain kind of fear-mongering in discussing the climate crisis. Highly recommended http://ensia.com/voices/pregnant-pause/?viewAll=1 Also, Catastrophism: The Apocalyptic Politics of Collapse and Rebirth which deals with this issue in depth is fabulous.Including a great intro by Doug. But if you want a nice bit of story telling on this, the above article is worth reading. -- Facebook: Gar Lipow Twitter: GarLipow Solving the Climate Crisis web page: SolvingTheClimateCrisis.com Grist Blog: http://grist.org/author/gar-lipow/ Online technical reference: http://www.nohairshirts.com _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
