Looks like NYT missed this brilliant bit of independent journalism. Climate Town. https://youtu.be/K2oL4SFwkkw?si=Bl_pM0z0ddEcsHpI
This sounds like more gaslighting: if we as individuals just had a bit more hope and maybe got a little more involved we could...
- People with hope do more to fix things
  
  I'm thinking some might be getting worried that the masses are losing hope, and if that reaches a critical point the system grinds to a halt.
  
  Im a doomer but I go to work and keep my carbon footprint as low as I can. Im going to go out being as small a part of the problem as possible.
- The "Just work a little harder and you can have a comfortable life" to "Just work a little harder and you can live long enough to work a little harder tomorrow" pipeline in full effect.
