quote - shared futures - climate crisis and appropriate language - (quote below)

• My belief is that
  • societies cannot organize effectively
  • to cope with
  • the impacts of climate change
  • without a shared understanding of
  • the future that awaits.
• Currently, representations of the net-zero future
  • don’t do that.
• They are a denial of the best of human nature.
• They shut down the possibility of
  • imagining something different
  • in favor of a fantasy of more of the same,
    • minus catastrophic climate change.
• With a better, shared understanding of the world we’re moving toward,
  • we can better organize ourselves to live in that world,
    • whatever that might mean,
    • whatever that might look like.
