Is there any reason to be optimistic about it, or are we all doomed? As far as I've looked it up, the more optimistic projections predict a 1-2° global temperature rise in the next few decades, which is pretty bad.

Is it a smart decision to start moving to higher/colder regions yet? What can we do?

And is there a good resource or video essay or whatever for this? There is so much misinformation and fearmongering around climate change. It's a hassle to weed out any trustable information.

We've reached a point of no return on many aspects of climate change. Over the decades the climate rhetoric of climatologists has changed from preventing climate change, to damage control.

It's not going well on the latter either...
