The more I see article about this and read about climate change, the more I seem to become sympathetic to climate change deniers, alternative theories and things like that. I wonder if I'm the only one? My theory is that since I can't do much about this, my brain tries to change my understanding of the world so it fits better with how I feel. At least I'm conscious of it. If I'm not the only one affected by this, maybe constantly pushing news like this is making the problem worse?

- Zababa 5y agoProbably something like that. Maybe something like learned helplessness too, as I've heard countless times that it's too late, that an individual can't do anything.
