Wild with Sarah Wilson

MARGARET KLEIN SALAMON: I know I’ll die from climate change


Listen Later

Margaret Klein Salamon is a climate psychologist and Founder & Board President of The Climate Mobilization, a US organisation that has seen almost 2,000 governments worldwide declare a climate emergency.

Margaret and I spoke a few times when I was researching my book This One Wild and Precious Life. I followed her up for this episode to get her brutal-and-yet-hopeful take on the wild-but-true reality – we are the Sixth Extinction and kids born today, by some estimations, may not live a full-term life. She's in early thirties and I know many of her generation who feel the same. She brings her training as a psychologist to map a path through the grief for the future we won't have, how to move past grief into action and why learning from World War ll makes her feel hopeful about the climate emergency. 

Warning: this is a confronting episode, but very, very real and important.
