      Well said!

      This report makes for sobering reading, but it’s never too late to stop fighting for a better tomorrow:

      • https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-never-too-late-to-take-climate-action/#:~:text=Scientists warn that we are,the planet past these limits

      • https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/06/too-late-climate-crisis-myth/

      • https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240206-hannah-ritchie-sustainability-data-spreads-hope-not-doomism

      Remember, hope and optimism are important motivators:

      • https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/concern/dissertations/rn3012085

      and pessimism isn’t useful:

      • https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23622511/climate-doomerism-optimism-progress-environmentalism

      So try not to let bad news like this get you down or facilitate a spiral into Doomerism:

      • https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23622511/climate-doomerism-optimism-progress-environmentalism

      And try to limit the bad news you ingest, as it can be bad for your metal health:

      And be mindful of the media’s propensity to favour bad news over good:

      • https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01538-4

      Finally, remember to take time to remind yourself about everything going right in the world

      Things are tough out there, so try and remain positive friends!
