5. Doha wasn't what many hoped it would be, but.....

The one thing that depresses me a little........Is just how many people on this website, and hell, people in general, seem to have bought into that "It's too late, we can't do anything" baloney, especially every time something doesn't work out; all of the legitimate evidence out there says that we still can indeed mitigate climate change(getting below 2*C may unfortunately be damn tough, though, that much can be said. OTOH, it's still not impossible yet.).

For those of you handwringers out there: C'mon, fellas, please do get a grip, no matter how pessimistic you may feel at the moment. Did we ever make real progress in ANY field by sitting down and, well.....wringing our hands? History says, no way Jose.

(P.S., polly7: I wasn't talking to you, btw, so my apologies in advance.)
