This assertion from @clintruin is deeply incorrect, both in its framing and its conclusion:
“In order to be optimistic, one needs to believe humans are basically good”

(humans are not unformly “basically” anything; neither ethics nor psychology work that way; people contradict each other and themselves; positive change can and always has happened in the presence of this complexity)
…but the fossil fuel industry appreciates the service in spreading their propaganda!
