#3News like this seems to be dominating my feed lately. Very depressing.
Is this a variation on the common lament that the media always shows negative news, or sadness about the oncoming climate crisis?

He does 15 minute videos reviewing the latest papers and news.

#6in the 2007 time-frame, the US National Snow and Ice Science Center showed up en-masse in California and were flipping out about ice changes, semi-desperate to find some way to communicate to the public about it. Post-"Inconvenient Truth" and early days of Twitter, the idea that if "somehow, someway, people could know about this" things would get better faster, was the knee-jerk idea amongst people who were immersed in details.
Twelve years later.. and .. recurrent headlines on YNews ? US EPA being dismantled, with the legal authority to regulate air pollution at the center of it.. Mixed signals from the other world economies, while posturing for trade routes through the Northern passage, and billions bet on small changes in oil prices each day .. Whats to worry about.
Is it that goof founder of 360-dot-org that said something like "Do something, just do something" ? Panic and gossip are clearly not enough.

As sarcasm is exothermic, that's both literally and figuratively not helping.

#8Please donate $1 to the Jay Inslee campaign, he's the only American Democratic candidate that has dedicated his campaign to fighting the climate crisis. Unfortunately, he's down in the polls and needs more supporters to keep him in the debates.

He hasn’t really been an effective governor of Washington, and his biggest legislative accomplishment is the largest tax break ever given to a corporation (til possibly Amazon) to a company that still ended up sending jobs away.
He talks a lot of talk but he doesn’t walk the walk.

Do what?
Normal people can't do anything worthwhile.
Unless you're in a position to personally bankroll the research and buildout of fusion power (hi, Jeff) the only thing you can do at this late date is get in the face of your government representatives: Jam up their phone lines, sit in at their offices, back primary challengers who will address the problem.
