This is the correct answer.
We don't know if or how we can deal with the problems coming up. But giving up will surely make things worse.
Further, we have to choose to not give in to excessive alarmism. I am typing as someone who struggles with this every day, since I've been watching climate change closely for quite a few years now. Things are objectively accelerating, so it's easy to give in to panic.
But that might be even worse than giving up.
We have to approach this with focus, an iron will and with an even temperament.
Every scary climate related news item should be practically drowned in data, as hard and objective as we can get it.
Because, these days, nothing puts people 'to sleep' the way unfounded alarmism does. Because people are numb to all of the alarm handles being pulled, all over the place.
