Meteorologist opens up about the struggle with fighting climate change
Eric Holthaus revealed his emotional and psychological battle with trying to save the planet.
@EricHolthaus
I’m starting my 11th year working on climate change, including the last 4 in daily journalism. Today I went to see a counselor about it.
@EricHolthaus
I’m saying this b/c I know many ppl feel deep despair about climate, especially post-election. I struggle every day. You are not alone.
@EricHolthaus
There are days where I literally can’t work. I’ll read a story & shut down for rest of the day. Not much helps besides exercise & time

As nearly as I can tell, this meteorologist’s “job” is to blog alarmist propaganda… This and the election of Donald Trump have apparently put him into therapy and is making it difficult fro him to go to “work.”

At least he doesn’t “work” for the EPA or DOE…
FEDERAL AGENCIES
Tears, angst as workforce braces for Trump takeover
Robin Bravender and Kevin Bogardus, E&E News reporters
Greenwire: Friday, November 11, 2016
U.S. EPA employees were in tears. Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling. Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off. Others might retire early.
And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory.
“People are upset. Some people took the day off because they were depressed,” said John O’Grady, president of American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, a union that represents thousands of EPA employees. After Election Day, “people were crying,” added O’Grady, who works in EPA’s Region 5 office in Chicago. “They were recommending that people take sick leave and go home.”

Having gone through four M&A’s since 2001, I can attest that anyone who felt the need to “take sick leave and go home” because they were upset about the new management, would probably find that “leave” to be permanent.

Eric has suddenly triggered this bizarre urge to avoid large crowds and seek out safe spaces. Email me urgently should Eric apply for a truck driving licence while looking for a new career.
This crybaby snowflake wailing is the future – and it’s bloomin’ marvellous.
Poor little snowflake.
Facing the prospect of your snout been wrenched from the trough it has been stuck in, for the last 11 years. must be very stressful.
Here’s my suggestion. Get a real job!
This guy and CNN’s Sutter would make a happy couple.
Well at least he is trying to get help . The Democrat leaders are all still in the Denier phase and will be
as long as they sell out to the green blob now running their party .
Couldn’t happen to a better group of self dealers .
At least the union membership finally woke up to how their union bosses were screwing them over .
I pray these snowflakes are protected! Haha. Love the comments.
You can help “save the snowflakes”.

Well that’s the merits when “working on climate change”,
“I know many ppl feel deep despair about climate, especially” the ones who can’t afford to consult a counselor.
Maybe slight OT, but when the talk is about ‘internal combustion’ and young womens ‘dreams of flying’ over the Copa cabana
‘her name was Gina, she was a showgirl …’
And reality keeps knocking:

No problem to reduce *misanthropy* by exactly the half:
specialize to *misogyny*.
As most woman prefer.
Faking facts is nothing new since Jesus was a carpenter like his stepfather Joseph and the term ‘facere’ is the latin root of indogerman ‘fabricate’, ‘fabrication’, ‘fabricated’.
-> manipulation is post-latin italian and we use that everyday in terms of ‘clean your hands!’
Or when we’re trying to be polite.

and here’s to counselor Gina:

Atlas shrugs. Gina 2.
My ex-girlfriend friend was a Gina 2.
She did computer design for car sub-suppliers in Freilassing.
We were together some 24 years.
Left me, the unsportive misogynist.
really thought I’d never forget ‘Regina’.
Times they are a changing.
What Regina never understood, what I never explained to her:
I’m not keen to raise a son with surname ‘Wundersamer’.
I’ve had enough.
My son will have it better: without me.
Well, Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
maybe some second hand american speakers belong to nasturtiums too.
many.
See, that’s my real interests. *
As Karl Kraus said: “it’s our common language that divides us.”
230 parts PER MILLION or 400 parts PER MILLION.
BS.
When you don’t get the difference between qualities and quantities
you can’t see the gaps between auxiliary sciences like math and real objectivity in history.
sci is the indogerman root for scheissen, schneiden, trennen-
shit, cut, differentiate.
While mathematicians are Zwangsneurotiker:
hunted neurotics.
* my real interests are ethnies, languages, what makes people ticking, and why there’s no way for eternal life:
Will you sustain a WWII Sherman Tank when there’s a Leopard 2 on the heavy weapons fair.
spelling error, as usual:
hunted neurotics. -> ‘hounded neurotics’.
thx. Hans.
