Trying to suppress anguish to the point of not being able to function doesn't seem healthy. Personally, I'd suggest looking at the lengthy history of doomsday climate predictions that were completely wrong to take some comfort about the future. Depending on how old you are, you'd have seen predictions in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc that by now all of the following would have happened: Earth is entering a new ice age, Earth will become unlivable due to global warming, acid rain will be rendering entire continents uninhabitable, major coastal cities will be driven underwater, climate driven superstorms making the world uninhabitable, and other nonsense predictions that have long since passed. Ask what makes things different about current predictions. Meanwhile, all of the Hollywood celebrities and busy-body politicians who are trying to scare you and begging you to sacrifice and do dumb stuff like drink soda through paper straws are buying ocean-front property and traveling around in private jets. Arguably far bigger and far more demonstrably real environmental issues like the health of the oceans are being ignored, in comparison.
