Interesting and sometimes funny video about how Chevron has wrecked havoc in Ecuador and attacked everyone trying to stop them.

    I’m at my wits end, maybe I need a source of good news. Nothing I see recently makes me at ease. The world is going to hell, wars tearing countries, ethnicities, cultures down. Greed is the only thing that makes anyone do anything. Am I getting too old? Am I getting too sceptical?

      Honestly, you may want to limit your exposure to climate change news sources, or even the news itself for a while. It’s very possible to experience emotional burnout from too much negative stimuli, and the news is always going to focus on the negative and terrible, since that gets more engagement.

      Try subbing to !upliftingnews@lemmy.world. There’s some good things happening in the world, but you have to look to find it, since we humans have a natural negativity bias that needs to be consciously overcome.

        Thanks. Trying to keep it positive here, but every day my world is getting smaller and smaller. I might have to stop reading news altogether.
