this is usually an interesting discussion to have, and there are a lot of interesting questions to ask in this field–so let’s ask and talk about a few. feel free to answer as many as you want, or ask your own of people in the comments. here are two groups of three that i think are good to start:

• Do you suffer from anxiety about climate change and its effects?
• Have you ever made significant individual lifestyle choices because of climate change?
• Have you ever thought of leaving where you live because of potential future climactic effects? Have you actually moved already because of them?

• Do you think the world can limit global warming to 1.5C or 2C? Where do you think we’ll “level off” in terms of warming–especially if you don’t think we’ll meet either of those goals?
• What do you think of proposed technologies like carbon capture? Do you think they’re useful, or a technocratic waste of time? Can they be viably used at large scale on any reasonable timeframe?
• Do you support something like climate reparations either now or in the future? Do you think such a thing is even viable?
