How to feel about climate change? A scientist reflects on anger, hope and love.

The Washington Post · last updated

Kate Marvel is a climate scientist. She spends her days working with climate models, watching temperatures climb, glaciers melt and seas rise — and she has some feelings about it.

Marvel’s new book is called “Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet,” and it’s organized around emotions. There is anger, grief and fear, of course — but there is also wonder, surprise, hope and love.
