Summary

*We need your support to continue the show! If you've listened to more than a few episodes and have learned from our work, please join our Patreon today: www.greendreamer.com/support

 

Margaret Klein Salamon is a clinical psychologist turned climate warrior, the founder of The Climate Mobilization, and the author of Facing the Climate Emergency: How to Transform Yourself with Climate Truth.

In this podcast episode, Margaret sheds light on some of the psychological phenomena that explain why our public response to climate change hasn't reflected the urgency that it warrants; why the environmental movement's fear of making people feel fear when it comes to telling the truth about our ecological breakdown has been misguided; and more.

I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

0:07.9

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

0:13.7

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

0:22.3

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

0:26.8

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

0:30.7

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

0:37.3

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

Hey, Green Dreamer, I just wanted to give you a heads up that we'll be taking a brief

summer hiatus after reaching episode 260. To be honest, I'm personally a little burnt out,

1:06.6

1:18.6

But I will be replaying some past episodes throughout this break that I feel like are really

1:23.9

relevant to this time or that are just really worth diving into because there's so

1:29.2

many past conversations that I learn more from each and every time I listen again and again.

1:35.6

Also, we do already have hundreds of conversations in the archive.

1:39.3

So if you're not entirely caught up or haven't had a chance to go back to listen to some of our

1:44.0

earlier episodes,

1:45.4

I hope you'll take this brief pause as an opportunity to do that as well. And as we look ahead,

I really want to thank our patrons for pulling together and helping us meet our August
