Outrage

This is totally outrageous!

Outrage is a powerful form of anger that results when boundaries are crossed and harm is done.

Climate outrage is generated by profound injustices, making it different from aggressive rage or primal fury. It can give us energy to serve and commit to a higher purpose.

Question: How to channel outrage into determined resistance?

Action

Give your anger a direction

Strong anger can become useful energy. Contact a decision-maker, organize with others, create art, join a campaign, attend a school board meeting, or help people learn about an issue that deserves more attention.

Why outrage can feel intense

Outrage often shows up when harm feels both serious and preventable. Learning that climate risks were understood for decades can make inaction feel especially infuriating. That anger can signal what you believe needs to change.

Anger has moved people to act

Many climate movements began because people decided something was unacceptable. Young people are using outrage to organize, create, vote when eligible, educate others, and push institutions to take responsibility.
