Lately, I’ve been feeling the profound burden of climate anxiety, a sense of dread that we’re approaching the tipping point leading to environmental and societal collapse, which will not just affect future generations (putting it into the realm of too far away to think about) but our own.The record-breaking floods in New York a week ago were another disturbing incident.
