Blog Action Day: Ecopsychologist says that it’s time to “constructively frighten people.”

Have you seen Newsnight last night (forward half way through)? Zach Goldsmith, Caroline Lucas, John Sauven debated the best way to move ourselves forward on meeting climate change goals. Surely we all know the intellectual arguments that Newsnight’s climate change correspondent re-iterated for us last night. Why isn’t it working? Thousands have signed up to campaigns like 10:10 and 350. What’s going on?
Several months ago I had a conversation with ecopsychologist Mark Brayne. Listen below as he explains why thinks the only way to get human beings, politicians and citizens, to respond appropriately to the coming threat of climate change is to mobilize our fear centres in our brains.
