Eco-Grieving 12-Step Program, Climate Anxiety, Australia Sponge Theory
NPR reports on the rise of "eco-grieving" and 12-step programs for people suffering from climate-related anxiety. The hosts mock the idea of "losing the future" and "climate PTSD." They cite geological surveys from the 1800s to argue that sea levels haven't risen significantly and mock a theory that Australia acts as a "giant sponge" absorbing excess ocean water.
