I’m sick of reading about my impending doom. (What I do to fix it)

This isn’t to disparage this sub, but the climate news industry as a whole. It feels like most articles focus on how we’re screwed or how we should’ve acted 20 years ago to avoid catastrophe. And they’re right, but it feels so fucking overwhelming after reading it over and over. It’s important to know how badly we’re screwed but it feels like too much sometimes.

I really appreciate the posts that offer a bit of hope—showcasing the incredible work of the world’s smartest minds, the new laws being passed, and the breakthroughs in science and business that give us a bit of a chance. Those stories remind me that progress is being made.

For those in the same boat as me, I recommend reading a few positive articles every day. Here are a couple of good sites I’ve found: Environment America and The Daily Climate tend to have a more balanced and optimistic tone. They also gather news from multiple sources. Personally though, I’m also looking for more stories about business and scientific breakthroughs.

I’ve also recently started an email newsletter called Extant, with informative, positive articles I’ve read and liked in the past few days. I send news in four categories: science, business, politics, and activism. If you’re also tired of the doomscrolling, feel free to join here: Extant. 2 emails per week, just articles. No ads, nothing.

(edit) I fixed the link above, it was glitching out. In case you all were signing up before.
