Muscular Optimism

My recent Life Map

Christiana Figueres a UN Climate leader was given an impossible assignment, and after admitting to her employees that it couldn't happen she decided to change her attitude and go optimistic.

I have resisted hopey positive approaches to our predicament that are what I think of as lazy optimism, letting others do the work, insisting that "they will solve the climate crisis through technology" meanwhile carrying on consuming as usual. That is complete doomsday scenario for me. Her perspective is that we may have one decade, the '20's in which to bend the curves in better directions and we all need to get down to it.

Her podcast, Outrage and Optimism is worth drilling into.
