Climate Change Doomerism: They Want You To Give Up

Over the last few years I have seen a major uptick in what is often called "doomerist" attitudes towards climate change especially on the left, I think it is profoundly unhelpful and not supported by evidence, and the people promoting it often use it to justify voting for Democrats here in the US "left" which is a whole thing, or it just causes people to give up and justify not fighting for a better future.

Articles I mentioned hopefully in order.
