Facing the Climate Emergency: Margaret Klein Salamon

Psychologist Margaret Klein Salamon's life and work took a sharp turn six years ago when she turned own feelings of hopelessness and despair toward action. As a self-proclaimed Climate Warrior, she began leading others through TheClimateMobilization.org, a part of the climate emergency movement working alongside  Sunrise, Climate Strike, Extinction Rebellion and other urgent-action groups.        Salamon's has written a self-help guide to direct more of us into the kind of all-in action she continues. She talks with Earthworms' Jean Ponzi about this new book, Facing the Climate Emergency: How to Transform Yourself with Climate Truth (New Society Publishers), and how the necessary urgent climate response is connected to the Covid-19 pandemic and now the global resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.      Music: Balkan Twirl, performed live at KDHX by Sandy Weltman and Carolbeth Trio THANKS to Andy Coco, Andy Heaslet, Jon Valley - Earthworms team of audio engineers Related Earthworms Conversations: Tosha Phonix: Organizing Food Justice, Growing Community (Oct 2019) Climate Communications from Saint Louis Zoo (Sept 2019) Leah Clyburn: Organizing to End Environmental Racism in STL (Oct 2019)
