This is a wrong take for various reasons. Panic is a response we developed for survival against predators and clear-and-present dangers. But look around, the only predator in sight is us. Can we panic against ouselves? Climate change and more general sustainability is above all a collective social/economic and political organization problem. How we internalize and communicate about the predicament we brought ouselves into is important. You don't cry fire in the crowded room, you find ways to calmly evacuate. Which brings to the second reason panic is hopeless: It is also objectively not possible for us to "flee" in a hurry (Except for Elon and his Mars escapists - good ridance). The crowded room is our planet and there is nowhere to go. We are doomed to "work it out", put down the fire. We have no option but accept the damage that will be inflicted in the mean time. The smarter and faster we "work it out", the less damage. Thats the equation and tradeof. But nobody ever solved a tough problem in a state of panic.
