How to deal with gloom and doom

Apparently the IPCC Working Group 2 report was leaked a while back and predicts (as titled by the Independent):

Leaked draft of UN IPCC report predicts global warming will cause violent conflict, displace millions of people and wipe trillions of dollars off global economy

Scary stuff, but I think it is time to come up with a different way of delivering the message as I am concerned that many people are simply tuning out these messages of gloom and doom.

 A sense of hope, a sense of dialogue, a sense of collaboration to work ourselves out of the problem need to be passed along.

 The big trouble is everything takes time and we need to act sooner than later.  Perhaps having these "shocking" messages is necessary to get people to act quicker.  However, the actions people can take must be made readily available so that when the are ready to act, the necessary resources are available for action.

If you believe that climate change is a serious problem then do something.  Waiting for others won't work.
