Climate Change Depression – Part Two On part one of this essay I described a few reasons why depression can creep up on climate scientists and those writing about global warming because the subject is so dark and foreboding.

Climate Change Depression – Part One To climate scientists and anyone dealing with the global warming issue on a personal level please consider this post as an advice column.
