Yes, the headlines are bleak. Yes, scientists are sounding the alarm. Yes, a growing pile of studies warn that the world is “on the brink of irreversible climate disaster,” as a recent “state of the climate” report put it.
It’s easy to feel like the planet is on fire — because, well, sometimes it literally is.
But even amid the floods, droughts and devastating forecasts, it’s not all doom: Innovators are reimagining how we power our lives, nature is pulling off surprising comebacks, cities are cleaning their air and nations are opening their wallets.
This Earth Day, take a break from the doomscrolling. Here are five reasons to hope — and maybe even feel a flicker of optimism.
- New technology and clean-energy breakthroughs
- Nature’s unexpected tools to fight climate change
- Species bouncing back
- Big moves to reduce pollution
- Countries are mobilizing

Yep, Spring has sprung. 6 months of livable weather in the Northeast.
I’ll only be hopeful when the utterly insane eco-nazis, eco-zealots, and eco-crazies are dead and buried.
Happy Erf Day. A poor excuse to pick a man’s pocket.
The EPA 2024 grant list shows the “climate scam” in action:
Remember their slogan:
“Grift is good.”
The biggest thing to be thankful about on this Earth Day is that the Trump Administration is stopping the funding of bogus “climate change” NGOs that are nothing but propaganda mills that pay useless activists six figure salaries to spew the Leftist party line on climate.

"Erf Day! What a splendid communist scam!"
These damn fools have claimed we are on the “brink” of disaster since before the very first Earth Day when I was in grade school...I am 70 now.
"Yes, SOME headlines are bleak. Yes, SOME scientists are sounding the alarm."
Chicken Little's generations are still around, as are all those Foxy Loxy types urging them to dinner....
To become dinner. Burp.
A great list of synonyms for “scam.”

I think they all apply. Especially useful on Earth Day.
Pffffffft!
Yes, the climate is changing.
Yes, the climate has always been changing.
Yes, the climate will always be changing.
The headlines are MEANT to scare you.
The “scientists” are paid for.
The grant money is being used to turn out computer “studies” that extend the hoax (GI,GO).
Climate change, as they are pushing it, does not exist.
Meanwhile we are running out of electricity, and the Chinese are building coal fueled powerplants (probably without scrubbers or with some minimal pollution control device) left and right, while we cannot get a clean gas fired one built.
Translation: At least some of the left, including this WaPo writer, believes that their climate warmageddon scam has petered out and won't be able to scare the masses. So it's time to shift the narrative and start pretending that the left is on the saner side.
