Psychic numbness is a tendency for individuals or societies to withdraw attention from past experiences that were traumatic, or from future threats that are perceived to have massive consequences but low probability. We here in New England have so far been spared the worse effects of climate change, otherwise known as global warming, or climate disaster. There is an urgent immediate need to wake out of the numbness. Join or form action groups, hound our representatives to deal with this emergency now, write articles in local papers, call or email your congresspeople and insist on immediate action. Shout it from the street corners. Do it for our children. ~ Michael Green, Topsham
