Climate change has been a pressing global issue for decades, often characterized by dire predictions and bleak future scenarios. Many people feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem and uncertain about the effectiveness of efforts to combat it. This sense of inevitability often sparks a debate about whether the focus should shift from prevention to adaptation.
Being optimistic is not the same as being completely delusional. Optimism by itself will not lull everyone into compliancy.

Too much pessismism will cause many to not even try.
