I fall into the silent climate majority, as identified by Rupert Read:

“A huge number of people that are neither radical nor in denial, who understand the monumental nature of our predicament, would never see themselves as activists, all the while despairing at the lack of collective progress and what they see as an inevitable collapse of the ecological foundations upon which all else rests.”

– Rupert Read, Climate Majority Project

Discovered this term via Rob Harrison-Plastow, who’s article on Why Well-Off Brits Who Think Collapse Is Coming Still Stay Silent sheds more light on this issue:

The ‘irrational’ behavior (i.e. scared of social and ecological collapse but staying silent about it) that we are trying to explain is not as simple as a flight response or paralysis, it is something far more nuanced.

This is not a binary split between those who act and those who do nothing. Nor are we concerning ourselves here with outright deniers. Instead, there is a spectrum of engagement, where individuals exist in varying stages of awareness while continuing to participate in a system that they intellectually understand is unsustainable and self-destructive AND is also essential to their livelihoods and immediate wellbeing.

This tension is not irrational or illogical. Nor is it a ‘knowledge-action gap’. It’s not about what this audience needs to know, it’s about how they feel because this tension is a logical emotional response to the complexity of our world.

Those who appreciate this tension often exist within two conflicting realities:

1. They intellectually grasp that our system will eventually collapse (some say it is already collapsing) because either we continue our growth based economy and destroy our life-support systems, or we halt growth and our economic structures collapse in on themselves. Or a mixture of the two as energy becomes harder to harness at the scales our systems are used to.
2. At the same time, they are living comfortably within the system as it exists today and they are still able to enjoy the benefits of affluence, stability and consumer comforts.
