Other possible outcomes of the collapse Renée Lertzman talks about are anger and denial.
> As you can tell, I spend a lot of time trying to understand denial; understanding the anger, though, comes naturally. I’ve felt it myself, most memorably after the 2015 Paris climate conference. I’d been there to support negotiators from poor countries who couldn’t afford to bring their own scientists to the meeting. I spent a lot of time talking with people from those countries, hearing stories of the suffering they’d already witnessed. Then I went home, back to an environment where people who claim to share my values think it’s okay to close their eyes and their ears to what’s happening in the world.
