Synopsis

  • This opinion essay argues that human connection, caring, and a sense of shared moral purpose are an underinvested but essential part of climate action.
  • The author draws on faith-based climate engagement and frames science and emotion as a both-and rather than either-or, contending that facts tell us what is possible while connection tells us why it matters.
