Scientists say climate change is bad, and getting worse, but it is not game over for planet Earth or humanity. After years of trying to get people’s attention about the massive harms of global warming, scientists now worry that some people have gone overboard and think there’s nothing that can be done.

They say the worst of climate change can be avoided, but not if people spiral into gloom.
