Yes, like I said I'm aware of the facts.

Then you should know that we're already close to the optimistic path.

I'm not aware of that, everything I read about climate change is pretty conclusive on the fact we're doomed.

Some scientists say we might have created feedback loops so even if we "solve" the problem, our end might be inevitable. Would be cool to see more positive takes on it but can't find many.

Also makes me laugh seeing environmentalists being against nuclear power when by now seems to be our only solution stop CO2 emissions (together with renewables of course).

The people who should be trying to get the solution are also making the problem so much worse.

Know that there are sources that survive on misinformation on both sides. While the situation isn't good and still needs our attention and focus, it's not hopeless.

Recent reports show significant improvement, although I cannot provide you with a link at this time (since I'm not in the habit of bookmarking things). Sadly I've also seen plenty of social media responses to this that we should keep regarding the situation as doomed, lest we start to slow our efforts due to good news.

This is part of the problem IMO.

All the big headlines always show the worst news events and such. It's all doom and gloom.

I never see these reports showing significant improvement make the headlines and news about optimism about the recent changes and such.
