Yes, I see it all the time.

There's no shortage of people who are on the "we're doomed, there's no point to even trying" train. If you try to point out any improvements (e.g., US per capita emissions drop), they won't just say it's not enough—they'll deny it's even possible that it's true.

I want people to believe in climate change, and to be concerned about climate change, but also not be petrified into inaction about climate change. Many, many people are on the wrong side of the fear level.
