As the climate crisis rises in public awareness, people have trouble understanding what to do – especially when the “climate doctors” fight among themselves about treatment. Using the disease model we can sort the interventions in 3 categories: curing, healing or denial/ letting the …
I know @realdonaldtrump. Not personally but many many years ago I lived with a bully-man. He was a smart, charismatic, focused and a my-way-or-the-highway kind of guy. Before I met him people would have said I was intelligent, attractive and creative. After some years with …
