So it bothers you that during a global pandemic, people weren't wrist-slashingly depressed for five minutes and you felt it was important they return to that state to gratify you in some way?

I'm not someone saying climate change is a hoax, nor am I saying that concerns about it are mere fear mongering. But I see nothing to be gained by concluding we are clearly doomed already and should just throw in the towel now.

That's called self fulfilling prophecy. If we make zero effort to find a path forward, you can bet dollars to donuts we won't find a path forward.
