Despite the gains of the environmental movement, considerable destruction continues to go on around us. We can find ourselves overwhelmed by this destruction, and by the amount of work that still needs to occur.

The human fascination with predictions of impending doom is one of the major factors in the emergence of climate change as a political issue.
