Can we laugh our way through the climate apocalypse?
In this episode of The Good System, host Ian DeBay dives headfirst into the most cheerful extinction-level event of our time: climate change. Yep, that one.
We explore how comedy can cut through despair, inspire action, and maybe even help us cope with our slow march toward doom. From gallows humor to Greta jokes, this episode tackles the question: Is climate change humor even allowed? (Spoiler: yes, and it’s necessary.)
🔥 In this episode, we cover:
- Why making jokes about the climate crisis isn’t insensitive—it’s survival
- The psychological toll of eco-anxiety and how humor helps
- The difference between coping and ignoring
- Examples of climate comedy done right (and hilariously wrong)
- Why laughter might be the last renewable resource we have
Whether you’re a climate activist, a concerned citizen, or someone who just needs a laugh before the next IPCC report drops, this episode is for you.
