Absolutely, and it's astonishing, that still so few people see how "deep in shit" we already are, and I really hope that very soon ( < 5 years or so) a lot more people through whatever means will start to see that. But I think it's not a good idea to go into the doomsday mood, I don't think that helps either (individually, say depression etc. inability for action). But yeah it's depressing how little this topic is still relevant in politics etc. and how little the scientific community is/was heard, that is telling us that we need to change like > 70 years ago (and a very soft transition would've been possible since than, not so much now unfortunately, whether we do it, or nature does it...).

I guess it's less doom and more, you can just use an ev, and magically, it's all ok. It will take significant social and economic changes that will radically alter how people in the first world live.
