The problem with telling people the world is going to end because they lived their lives is that it does not tend to resonate with people, especially when you try to force your agenda through fear rather than actual evidence. So, while the left thought they were on to something by lecturing Americans for decades, as they shamed everyone who dared to breathe, that resonated with virtually no one. This is why many of these climate alarmists have decided to take on a new approach, a more joyful one, if you will.

According to AP News:

Across the world, groups of activists, teachers, and psychologists are tackling one of the planet’s most daunting problems with laughter, dancing, hugs, and most especially joy. With a heavy emphasis on what works psychologically, seminars, books, and college classes are trying to change how people approach climate change by talking more about community and happiness than sacrifice. Earth Day, founded in 1970, has become a day of both protest and celebration, its founders say.

“I believe that joy is all the more necessary and maybe all the more holy in difficult times,” said Katharine Wilkinson, an activist who led the Hudson Valley seminar that got the other groups’ notice. “Joy is like, how do we take part in the shimmy and the shimmer even as the world lurches?”

“Joy is what made our species survive in the first place,” said Jiaying Zhao, a professor of psychology and sustainability at the University of British Columbia. “If we’re rewarded, reinforced by it, then we continue doing it. We spill over. We become contagious. We get others on board.”

In other words, if they stopped being so miserable, maybe the sane population would take them seriously -- or maybe not. Nonetheless, when you stop being so miserable and stop shaming everyone and their grandmas, people tend to, at the very least, hear the message out. The problem, though, for these people, is that they are on what you would call “the wrong side of history.” So, while they can try to allow “joy” to fuel their message, they still could not be more wrong if their lives depended on it.

“If we have to win the fight against climate change by getting people to give up the things they enjoy, I don’t think we’re going to win the fight,” said University of British Columbia psychology professor Elizabeth Dunn.

“Instead of asking people to sacrifice the things that bring them joy, our book is making the exact opposite claim: Do more of the stuff that brings you pleasure but also have a low carbon footprint,” she said.

“We’re actually trying to get people to change their behaviors. And joy is the missing ingredient here,” Zhao said. “All we’re saying is give this a shot.”

While it is great that many of these doomsday preppers have decided to embrace a more joyful approach, they are still requesting you to fight a fight that does not exist. They can do as many rain dances as their feelings desire, but no change they make will have any impact on the weather. Once they realize that, they will be better off sleeping at night. Until then, don't expect anything more than whatever cringe danceathon this is.
