In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at how you can fight climate anxiety. Specifically, I look at the root causes of eco-anxiety and climate anxiety, why climate anxiety might only become more prevalent, and then offer up some ideas on how to cope and move through eco and climate anxiety.
