Thank you for this great article. You make great points about how climate change is emotional, and it can be difficult to have meaningful conversations with our peers about it. Your step by step is very helpful.

I recently had a conversation with friends, who told me they didn’t think there was anything we could do about climate change, but that they hoped aliens or time travelers would come and save us (all said with a straight face). I didn’t know where to take the conversation from there, but this would have been helpful.
