    […] (1) climate change is happening (‘It’s real’); (2) human activity is causing climate change (‘It’s us’); (3) there is a scientific consensus about human-caused climate change (‘Experts agree’); (4) climate change harms people (‘It’s bad’); (5) a majority of people are concerned about climate change and support climate action (‘Others care’); and (6) actions can be taken to limit the harm (‘There’s hope’).[…]

    I find that the last ones, (5) a majority of people are concerned about climate change and support climate action (‘Others care’); and (6) actions can be taken to limit the harm (‘There’s hope’)., are the ones I’m failing some days.
    There’s just too much news that appear to tell the opposite of (5) and that leads to not believing in (6).

      There is no hope anymore… of avoiding consequences entirely, or perhaps in minimizing them. There IS hope that humanity may not go extinct. The trick as I see it may be to find the balance in between those extremes:-). (Unfortunately I don’t know where precisely that is.)

      Edit: people downvoting, please speak up why you believe this is wrong, and if possible send me a link to read in order to learn more? (I tried to include one in my comment but went down a rabbit hole and gave up, with lemm.ee going down I can’t find what I was looking for.)

        The linked article has a dedicated section «1.3.6 Key truth #6: ‘There’s hope’».

        I believe you are wrong because you are inconsiderate to the OP and to the other readers, by commenting before reading the linked article.

        I believe you are wrong because you moan before doing your (very small and straight foward) part.
