It’s ironic that the people in the article are decrying “doomism” as an excuse to give up and do nothing are juxtaposed against a guy who quit his job and moved to Bali to start a permaculture operation (not sure how well that would work as a universal solution, but good on him). The crime in the eyes of the anti-doomer isn’t giving up, it’s opting out of the idea that we can solve climate change by running on our little hamster wheels harder.
Didn’t you hear? The earth system works on partial credit. So long as we keep voting in the lesser evil, we don’t need a plan! The climate will just keep issuing waivers.
