The Importance of Optimism in Climate Change

For a long time I definitely identified as a pessimist or a cynicismist. At the time there was very little that seemed to be going right and very little to be optimistic about. My pessimism about the environment also bled into human dimensions. So I thought hunger was at all time high, deaths from natural disasters, but are all time high. And the point is that all of those things were wrong. It's actually the opposite.
