In terms of Climate Change and Global warming We Are ‘Procrastination Nation’

Climate Change and 

Why We Are 

‘Procrastination Nation’

It’s a fact that we are psychologically hard-wired as 

humans to see our future selves as 

strangers. So when looking at 

future climate change and 

runaway global warming impact 

events we do nothing. Why? We Are “Procrastination Nation.’’

I recently tweeted this and 

I will tweet again for rest of my 

life. “Why do we humans procrastinate? 

It’s because we think, psychologically, 

of our future selves as ‘’strangers’’. 

So in taking steps to fight runaway #AGW, we therefore procrastinate because we don’t see the future 

as *our* future. We are “Procrastination Nation.” 

It’s true. We are never going to fix climate change 

and we are never going to stop global warming, 

and that’s because we are going to 

procrastinate forever and ever until the cows 

come home to roost. No, that’s not right: 

until the chickens come home to roost. 

Or is that the crows come home to roost? 

Whatever: 

By then it will be way too late.

Anne and I are turning our old, re-wilded home into a

Southern Reach residency, alternating between non-fiction

and fiction writers who deal with the environment in their

work in some way...need some help. If you're an entity

that might be interested in making this work,
