    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.
