We realize now that climate change does have the effect of making us feel powerless, due to our lack of hope that our politicians will do anything by way of mitigation to keep the rise of global temperatures to 2 degrees.
Rudd + Co went soft and buckled at the knees under the lobbying and public relations pressure bought to bear on the government by the Greenhouse mafia. Hence our depression.

What isn't being said by the politicians is what adaptation to global heating actually involves and means for us, given they are going to do little by way of mitigation. What we do know is that the politicians, despite all their rhetoric about the importance of climate change, have been captured by the old fossil fuel industry and intensive energy users and pressured to do as little as possible.
So we are depressed, but not yet angry.
