1336: Climate Crisis Special

Climate Anxiety, 12-Step Groups, and Renewable Technology

A new form of support group emerges for people suffering from "climate anxiety" and grief over the "loss of the future." These groups use modified 12-step programs, similar to Al-Anon, to help participants process their emotions. Despite the psychological toll, activists like Al Gore remain hopeful, citing the rapidly falling costs of solar panels, wind turbines, and battery storage as a technological solution to the crisis.
