“It’s worth… (…perhaps, taking Lorenz’s byline with its own grain of salt)”

This is a helluva statement / suggestion about @taylorlorenz and the Washington Post, @gruber. Can you add context?

Looks like @gruber updated his post to include a link in which @taylorlorenz is singled out for her… pessimism?

Among other points it suggests things won’t be that bad (“Climate change isn’t going to destroy human civilization in the next few years”) and it’s both counterproductive and nihilistic to say otherwise. “Doomers [like her] are basically doing this to themselves.”

I guess that’s context, at least. Still not sure what he’s trying to say.

Don't be a doomer

Flamboyant pessimism serves no useful purpose.
