“We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it.” President Obama
Most of us are more or less in denial
The secrets of “The Climate Paradox”, brought to you by the Norwegian Climate Psychologist Per Espen Stoknes:
People know more than ever before about global warming, the science is clear, and yet a large percentage of us do not act on what we know.
Three levels of Denial:
INTELLECTUAL
You reject that climate change is happening and that it´s man-made
EMOTIONAL
You accept climate change being real and man-made, but the acceptance stays in your head. It doesn´t affect you emotionally, does not fill your body, does not reach your stomach and your heart.
POLITICAL
You recognize climate change, you are strongly affected emotionally by it, but that does not lead you to become politically active.

the purpose of this site
Is to help you get out of denial, meaning:
– start gathering information actively,
– use your heart and stomach to feel the consequences of Climate Change,
– and become active in the climate battle.
– use your heart and stomach to feel the consequences of Climate Change,
– and become active in the climate battle.
what are you passionate about?
Many of us burn for something. Often centered in the here and now:
Family, economy, education, job, spare time interest, the organization we belong to or some political, spiritual or altruistic involvement.
Also, we try to make strategies and plans for the future. Trying to pave the way to reach our goals.
But how wide and how far is our vision? And how is the visibility? Most of us only register what´s near us in time and space, and we believe the future pretty much will look like a continuation of the immediate past.

This may very well turn out to be wrong. Some very significant organizations, institutions and scientists with deep knowledge of the current global trends are telling us, that we in the near future will be forced to change our plans dramatically.
If the track we are on is blocked,
we will have to find another
before it´s too late

So maybe now is the time to get passionate about the Climate?
As you can see on the “Challenges” page, the effects of climate change are already here, and coming much faster than scientific models have predicted.
There are many good reasons to get involved now. Everyone can do much more than they do. And apathy, and non-involvement are the main reasons if we fail in saving civilization.
Basically we can do things on 3 levels:
– reduce our own carbon footprint
– educating ourselves and others
– preparing local communities for transition
– educating ourselves and others
– preparing local communities for transition

But most importantly:
Get involved politically
Forcing decisionmakers to take the necessary steps to stop global warming
going from words to action
Forcing decisionmakers to take the necessary steps to stop global warming
Join a global climate movement

Our list of suggestions for how you can contribute personally (close to the top of this page) was inspired by an original made by Dr .Terry Gallagher.
Dr. Gallagher is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. His list is wonderful and feature rich, and we believe it can be used universally.
Click here to go to Dr. Gallagher´s original action listHowever, we also felt the need to rearrange his list a little, to better fit our style, culture and purposes. Hence we ended up with the revised list above.
Thank you, Dr. Gallagher, for what was a most inspiring starting point.
