Great findings! Supports a fresh and crucial narrative. My last story pieced together the role of emotions and social psychology in climate adaptation. These findings will help me validate some of my observations. Your team is welcome to read.

Doomerism is a rational reaction to the current political events. Ecocidal authoritarians in power mean 2 things:

1. There's no much people left to fight because most of them are the ones who put such leaders at power.

2. Fighting will be increasingly difficult, then virtually impossible. When authoritarian are in power, it means that the days of couter-powers are counted.
