Most of the climate news we see on reddit/etc is just alarmism. Realistically according to the USGS we have 100-200+ years until warming becomes a serious problem, and I would be shocked if we don't have high quality solutions long before then. Further a lot of those "we're going to be underwater" figures are complete junk. Huge portions of the world have always (relatively speaking) been below sea level, and rising sea levels have nothing to do with it.
What is uniquely promising is that the world as a whole is getting richer, and once you escape poverty, people care more about their surrounding environment. If we focus on growth we're likely to see the environment improve naturally.
