The thing that is a deep source of grief is the decades of denial and delay that have gotten us so much deeper into crisis than we ever needed to be. And that so much, even under the best case scenarios, is going to be lost in terms of places, communities, cultures, species [and] ecosystems.
It’s overwhelming, the sheer magnitude of that loss and if all we were doing was looking at that loss with no ways to respond, that would be, I think, an unfathomable source of grief. But the challenge for all of us, is to be able to hold all of that at the same time. The depth of the loss and the enormity of what is still possible.
