I have brought two wonderful people to this world because I don’t underestimate humanity’s ability to understand, adapt and overcome the challenges ahead. Humans have lived and thrived through much tougher times in history. A defeatist attitude sure won’t help.
Nothing to apologize for. I understand that some people, particularly those who are young, environmentally conscious and lacking financial stability, look at the world and think that it’s all going to shit.
I’m old enough to remember the cold war and the fear we had of nuclear holocaust and nuclear winter. It’s just an example, there have been doomsday headlines every day for as long as I’ve lived and every single time humans have prevailed.
I’m not saying climate change isn’t serious, it is very serious. I’m saying our children and grandchildren will, for the most part, live good lives. Better than our lives in some ways, worse in others, just like it’s always happened. People adapt.

I can understand your viewpoint since you already have children. I apologize if my words were harsh, btw
