Doom is a privilege we can’t afford.

“Some days I think that if we lose the #climate battle, it’ll be due in no small part to this defeatism among the comfortable in the global north, while people in frontline communities continue to fight like hell for survival. Which is why fighting defeatism is also climate work.” - Rebecca Solnit

We can’t afford to be climate doomers

It often seems that people are searching harder for evidence we’re defeated than that we can win

@luckytran being a "doomer" doesn't equal "defeatism" and doing nothing.

Instead, it's understanding that the collapse is inevitable and the actions have to be focused on adaptation and resilience because the overshoot has already happened.
