Social scientists say feelings and values drive people toward broad, collective change not charts, graphs or images.

Many people said that when they thought of nature, it raised happy memories of climbing trees, stomping in puddles or watching sunsets.

But underneath, they described fraught relationships with the environment a tense blend of love, longing, guilt and worry.

People feel longing, guilt and worry toward the environment, with virtually no mention of hope, excitement or empowerment.

Jessica Eise: As long as people lack a personal sense that they have the ability to make change, they won't take steps such as telling political leaders to act.

She asks: Is it possible to reduce paralysis and match love for nature with hope?.
