This kind of catastrophizing is exactly the sort of thing I’m talking about. I also think it’s quite arrogant of you to frame my perspective as naive.

You’ve made a single point about climate change, and chose to only focus on the worst way you could possibly interpret everything, including your own speculations about events that you think will occur. On the same topic you could also make points about renewable technologies constantly improving, and renewable adoption in the market. But the perspective you’ve put forward is that everything is all bad, all the time, and always getting worse. The reality is quite far from what you’ve characterised, and I think that one of the more concerning implications of this point of view is that good things shouldn’t be worthy of attention if bad things also exist.

Post some citations. I can easily support my claims. Can you do the same?

This could be an evidence of my bias, or an evidence of yours. Reality is not so clear.
