It's ironic that the people in the article are decrying "doomism" as an excuse to give up and do nothing are juxtaposed against a guy who quit his job and moved to Bali to start a permaculture operation (not sure how well that would work as a universal solution, but good on him). The crime in the eyes of the anti-doomer isn't giving up, it's opting out of the idea that we can solve climate change by running on our little hamster wheels harder.

I remember reading over a decade ago that meteorologists and climate researchers gave up on us collectively solving the problem and were deciding to move to the most resilient territories and planning to live off grid.
