Yup. For someone who became aware of the existential risks that human produced CO2 and CH4 are causing back in the 1980s, full acceptance is, in my case at least, literally the only long-term, sustainable approach.

I think that's been happening with a lot of scientists these last couple of years. Many I've spoken to are basically, "I don't see a way forward, a way out of this." For many, it brings a sense of calm.
In my mind, the next necessary step is to embrace and accept uncertainty. That one's very well informed view isn't necessarily correct. This is an ideal shield against despair, which must be avoided at all costs.
