No need to be rude.
I think that in their mind, anything short of being incredibly rude is telling everyone not to worry. They’ve kind of told everyone that they only believe in a world of binaries. Either you demand 100% climate crisis aversion despite how impossible that is, or you’re telling everyone not to care about the climate.
What a perfect distillation of why everyone is depressed as fuck. Even when mildly good news comes out, it’s rejected and shit on. Would’ve been possible to understand there are multiple levels of being fucked but don’t let that get in the way of being miserable and trying to reinforce the misery of others.
Being angry has its place, happy people don’t protest, content people don’t change their surrounding.
Trust me, I’m angry. I don’t know why it is so hard to see something like that and not think “oh well at least it’s slightly better than I thought”. But no. Gotta be a binary thinking troglodyte. It’s either perfect or it’s shit. Nothing in between.
I do not see any organizing (or even good agitating) in these comments. Looks like people having a doom attack (or having fun signaling to their in group).

If you think a graph that shows a degree of positive change is nothing, there’s nothing you would accept short of avoiding the climate crisis entirely. Which is clearly impossible at this point.

You should focus on what could actually be done versus telling strangers that having 1% faith things might get better makes them a delusional moron who is at fault for “celebrating”. I’m done here.

I’m in my 30s, not a boomer, nor an idiot. I am probably more eco-conscious than you if I had to guess. I literally own a solar panel, 2 power stations, and a PHEV (I drive like a turtle intentionally to maximize the battery’s longevity and coast and avoid coming to a complete stop as often as possible between destinations), and have shamelessly, openly criticized people at my workplace who misuse/ignore our recycling procedures.
What I’m saying is that we can only do so much, and there’s no point in living your life in nonstop negativity. I know that I am doing my part so I will be actively happy about that. Your only defense to step back further is to tell me to join the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement (VHEM), to which I say: sure, but you first.

Are you assuming that I am not doing that, too?
