children to crowdfund European climate change case</a></b><br>
Group from region hit by deadly forest fires to sue 47 countries
alleging failure to tackle climate change threatens their right to
life<br>
Portuguese schoolchildren from the area struck by the country's
worst forest fires are seeking crowdfunding to sue 47 European
countries, alleging that the states’ failure to tackle climate
change threatens their right to life.<br>
The children, from the Leiria region of central Portugal, where
fires this summer killed more than 60 people and left hundreds
injured, are being represented by British barristers who are experts
in environmental and climate change law.<br>
Supported by the NGO Global Legal Action Network (Glan), they are
seeking an initial £35,000 to mount the case in the European court
of human rights.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

crowdfunding bid was published on Monday on the platform
CrowdJustice</a>, which has raised millions to help bring
citizen-led cases to court....<br>

CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVING YOU TO DESPAIR? READ THIS.</a></b><br>
To maintain our capacity to address climate change, we need to
recognize and address the trauma it creates.<br>
"People whose work is related to climate change need to recognize
that they are susceptible to a special kind of stress due to the
overwhelming nature of the problem. Such work can lead to
psychological trauma, shattering our deeply held assumptions and
beliefs about the way the world works and our role in it. This in
turn can lead to burnout and disengagement."<br>

resilience is a lifelong journey</a></b><br>
"How do individuals grow as a function of various life events or
adversities, such as chronic illness or unemployment or bereavement?
What are the resources and strategies they use?" asked Infurna, who
is a developmental psychologist.<br>
He has found that resilience is social.<br>
"The individual’s ability to have relationships, a good social
network in place, has been the strongest predictor of whether
someone is able to overcome adversity," he said.<font size="-1"><br>

THIS HOW YOU FEEL?</a></b><br>
Climate change is a complex and intimidating threat. You can't see
it when you look out your bedroom window. Its impacts are often not
immediately noticeable, nor are the benefits of acting against it.<br>
Luckily there are a large group of passionate individuals who have
dedicated their lives to studying climate change. These people write
complex research papers, unpacking every aspect of climate change,
analysing it thoroughly and clinically. They understand the
numbers, the facts and the figures. They know what is causing it,
what the impacts will be and how we can minimise these impacts.<br>
But they're not robots. These scientists are mothers, fathers,
grandparents, daughters. They are real people. And they're
concerned.<br>

<b>Movie review Mother!</b><br>

Mastermind Darren Aronofsky Explains His Disturbing Fever Dream</a></b><br>
The filmmaker opens up about Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Wiig’s
cameo, and why he keeps returning to the darkness.<br>
"The idea for Mother! came one morning when Aronofsky was alone in
his home. He had been contemplating his complete helplessness to
combat the world’s environmental destruction—the global-warming
crisis, collapsing ecosystems, extinction at startling rates. He
decided to spin a story around a single emotion—rage—and spent the
next five days writing "about how it must feel to be Mother Nature,"
the script pouring out of him "like a fever dream." The result is a
psychological thriller loaded with religious and environmental
symbolism, and a few nods to unexpected inspiration."<br>

"My name is Paula, I am 11 years old, and I live in Austria... I am
writing this letter to you because I have something important to
say. I would be glad if you could take a moment of time. Mr.
President, climate change is real. People can see it all over the
world. When our climate changes, we are all affected. You and me.
People in the United States, in Austria, in China, Norway, in big
cities and on small islands. You and other world leaders — please
work together to find solutions to climate change. Now is the time
to save our future. We only have one planet earth. Thank you for
