Hello,

I have two young kids and lately, I am having a lot of anxiety and sadness thinking about how the current climate crisis will affect them.

I also have regrets because I decided to have children while knowing about the climate crisis. At the time, I was optimistic, but no so much anymore.

It has been hitting me hard the last few days. How do you cope/deal with this as a parent?

Thanks

I'm thinking, they will still almost certainly have a better life than 99,999% of humans who ever lived. I worried about it more, but after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and after I lost my job for a while, my brain decided ecology is not really that important anymore.
