General Discussion

I think it would be difficult to watch too much of Climate TV. I'd probably start out very excited about the idea of a channel devoted to this topic, and hope that it would inform people who are curious, or starting to worry about it, but feel like they can't talk about it in their circle of friends. They might watch this and learn something. But I agree with the posters who said it could rapidly get upsetting. Those of us who read a lot about it know the basics of what is happening now, and what is likely going to happen.

Someone on DU (I think, or maybe I heard this from my mother) posted something interesting Chris Hayes said: essentially, as vitally important as climate change was, it was "ratings death." Some people are fearless about reading everything they can get their hands on; for others of us, we can digest a bit each day before it gets a little overwhelming. But we may change and adapt as necessary. It might become necessary to think about this most of the time.

Thanks again!
