Anouchka Grose: Apocalypse now

Abstract

Thoughts on humans and other animals The parallels between climate-change anxiety and that related to COVID-19 have triggered a glut of hot-takes. No pills for the pain In her book on eco-anxiety, Grose says fear is a rational response to environmental Armageddon. In her book, she blends practical tips on environmentalism and personal anecdote, with strategies to soothe mind and body. Grose hates some climate activist's actions that feed into this narrative, ‘[They] were putting up posters saying “human beings are the virus”, and I just thought that was such a nasty way to treat people’.
