On the move

One of my favorite writers, the trenchant and eloquent Rebecca Solnit, gave a talk as part of Cooper Union's contribution to New York Climate Week. It was delivered (virtually of course) on Monday, and is now available on youtube! The talk was called "Climate Momentum: The Things That Keep Me Cheerful In the Face of the Worst Problem Ever" and it offers ten reasons to remain motivated and hopeful at a time when climate doomsayers counsel resignation, despair or desperate measures. Her brother later summarized it in this graphic but you really should watch the talk. It's genuinely uplifting.
