How to Survive the Near Term Human Extinction Movement

                                                 What if Science Can't Save Us From Global Warming?


Does thinking about climate change make you sad or depressed?  Do you ever worry that climate change will cause the entire human species is about to go extinct?    If so, then you are a very special person and a candidate for the Near Term Human Extinction (NTHE) movement. 

 It turns out there are quite a number of people who are extremely unhappy  because they are worried that climate change is going to cause NTHE.  These sorrowful and dejected people are perennially downcast, despairing over the deep injustice of human caused climate change.  Some of these disconsolate souls are merely glum and gloomy, but others become doleful and inconsolably depressed.

Fortunately, there are therapists who specialize in treating people in the NTHE movement.  One of the leaders in this field is Carolyn Baker, who gives talks and workshops and has written several books on how to overcome the forlorn melancholy that inevitably accompanies those in the NTHE movement.   Carolyn's current workshop offering is entitled "The Gift of Grief in a Time of Endings".  Wow!  Even that title is depressing.

In the introduction to her workshop, Ms. Baker writes:

....since becoming familiar with NTHE, I am even more passionate and committing to assisting people in conscious grieving for the ....destruction of all life on earth.

Indeed the destruction of all life on earth would be a very sad thing,  and no wonder some people become woebegone, crestfallen, and heartbroken when they think about it.  I get sad just just thinking about how wretched, pitiful, and pathetic people in the NTHE movement must be as they contemplate the heartbreaking and harrowing fate of all life on earth.

But wait!  

What is that I see!  Over there!  I see someone hopeful!  I see someone with a plan!  He says there is some way out of this place!  Maybe we actually can do something about climate change!  Maybe we can think of a way to fix the planet?  Maybe we can stop global warming after all!

Maybe before people get so depressed about climate change that we all need therapists we should consider.............planetary geoengineering!
