In his article "What if we stopped pretending?" the American novelist Jonathan Franzen refers to the looming climate “apocalypse”, arguing that, to prepare for it, we need to reconsider what it means to have hope.
His message is inspiring in spite of what you would expect based on the headlines:
Jonathan Franzen (2019):
if we stopped pretending?The climate apocalypse is coming. To prepare for it we need to admit that we can´t prevent it. 
Here is the conclusion:
"Keep doing the right thing for the planet, yes, but also keep trying to save what you love
specifically—a community, an institution, a wild place, a species that’s in trouble—and take heart in your small successes. Any good thing you do now is arguably a hedge against the hotter future, but the really meaningful thing is that it’s good today. As long as you have something to love, you have something to hope for.”
