Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization.
While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears most politicians are not committed to do anything meaningful while the fossil fuel industry still works actively against change. It seems humanity can’t overcome its greed and obsession with short term profit and personal gain to save itself.
And so for many the future looks grim and hopeless. Young people feel particularly anxious and depressed. Instead of looking ahead to a lifetime of opportunity they wonder if they will even have a future or if they should bring kids into this world. It’s an age of doom and hopelessness and giving up seems the only sensible thing to do.
But that’s not true. You are not doomed. Humanity is not doomed.

It’s been weeks since I watched it, but one obvious criticism that stuck with me was that their hopium scenario was very anglo-centric. Yeah, western nations will probably survive and maybe even with relatively fewer I’ll effects, but millions are going to die in the global south, and billions will have their quality of life massively reduced from what is already a low standard. So many animals and plants are going to suffer and go extinct too.
I agree that we should still see climate change as something we can effect, we’re not helpless to it, but the optimism they reach so hard for is really only applicable to their primary audience.
