Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

    The science shows the current predicament and the fact that any “good things” are based on the idea of massive reforms (or even revolutions) occurring. This makes it very easily to estimate how bad the situation is based on what’s not happening.

    As the climate chaos gets worse, it’s reasonable to expect more bad news, not less.

        I wish you were correct, but the popular press is usually loaded with optimism, especially techno-optimism.

            Your drawing a false equivalency. Just because there is an over-reporting of negative stories does not mean that all negative stories are false.

            While climate change news is A popular target for doom scroll fodder, I think in this case it is accurate, and I think it is important to understand the situation well, even if it’s not good news.

                Yeah, but how you gonna win internet points if you’re not overly cynical to the point of hyperbole? /s

                I appreciate you pointing out the obvious negative bent of most current news media. It’s why I don’t bother with them anymore; they don’t care about an accurately weighted story, they want clicks and subscriptions.

                It always reasonable to expect bad news from the popular press .

                This It implies that they’re only reporting it because it is bad news. Which has a whole other host of implications and make sure you’re aware of it.

                Perhaps I read too much into it, but I don’t believe that’s the case.
