The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn't have to mean the world is ending.

'If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this.

Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.'
