I think or of absolutely reasonable to give up hope on climate change. Its too late to stop it. We are now living in it.
I've always appreciated a short dialogue from the show Monk.
Monk: I had hope. Isn't hope the worst?
Natalie: No, Mr Monk. Hope is a good thing.
Monk: You're very young.
"Hang in there" is not therapy, to me it's infuriating if anything. I can list several well-grounded in reality reasons which made me lose hope. Random phrases are not changing either these reasons or my ability to adapt to them. At some point "hope" feels like self-delusion. But it's nice to know others are not there yet.
