Acceptance of and understanding of Global Warming is an overwhelming action. Truly understanding what we (all of the US and all of us) face commands decisions about how one will interact with the globe from that moment on. Now, for better or worse, there are many (often illegitimate) reasons for skepticism about Global Warming. One of these is, quite clearly, an emotional desire to avoid having to face those decisions in the face. But, there is a path toward that decision point. For quite good reasons, that path is very close to that outlined by Elizabeth Kubler-Rossin Death and Denying for dealing with life's tragedies.
- Denial,
- Skepticism (anger for dealing with grief)
- Delay (bargaining)
- Depression
- Determination and Activism (acceptance)
