This comment is in general and not related to climate change..This is not intended for you as I don't know you.
But 'miserable to less miserable' kind of sums up the disposition of pretty much every person I know who is way into climate change. They generally look at life through a negative lens and climate change is the perfect issue to dwell on. I kind of feel sorry for them.
Put me in the "Ain't Life Grand" camp.
I agree with your life outlook but it is extremely difficult for me. I grew up as a very happy child but between Jr high and adulthood something happened that makes it extremely hard for me to have a happy outlook on life. Not because thing are bad or negative. I know not many happy people really understand this but the truth is that some people through no fault of their own struggle with happiness.
I can be on the Madison in the middle of a great hatch with fish rising everywhere and still have a negative outlook if I am not constantly on top of my thoughts. Literally constantly, reminding myself how good I have it several times a minute.
