The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our lifetimes. Its scale defies comprehension, and conceals its true nature – not as one gigantic issue, but as many. Even those of us who accept the science and urgency of the climate crisis can struggle to act on our own knowledge and values. No matter who we are, our minds are subject to the Dragons of Climate Inaction: 36 different species of rat... more

I am a huge fan and enthralled listener to Future Ecologies so am excited to dive into this series and learn about my own dragons and how I can conquer them!
It’s so puzzling: Most people know the climate crisis is real, but we’re all having such a hard time to act and change our ways. Why is that? In this series, Adam and Mendel introduce Robert Gifford’s great concept of the dragons of climate inaction.

You have to listen to this podcast from the beginning to truly appreciate its beauty, but I promise it’ll be worth it if you so!
Beautiful, moving and insightful. I see the creators not only presenting interesting information but also practicing eco-centric principles through the podcast, which is really what we (all of us) need to do and move towards. Thank you for this!
Educational and thought provoking - but in a very approachable way! I love the idea of “dragons.” I really appreciate the flow and music selection as well. Incredibly well done!
