We are living in an age of unprecedented wealth, with millions entering the middle class every year. Homo sapiens live longer lifespans than ever before, with better nutrition, and better medicine than ever in our history. This is also the most peaceful time in our history, with record lows in crime and wars. The developing world is surging in wealth and in the west we have more opportunity and access to information than ever.

I think this is meant to communicate that we’ve solved or are in the process of solving a lot of problems, and so even climate change can be hopefully fixed. And to some extent, I do agree, since doomerism only benefits those who are continuing to exacerbate the climate crisis.
