    I read somewhere that it is normal of humans to overestimate progress in the short term, and underestimate it in the long term.

    That gives me hope, assuming we have a long enough term for all this progress to manifest.

      I think we have underestimated how much progress has been made on killing the planet.

    There’s some good information in this article, but I would have appreciated it being a little less of an ad for a podcast.

    The title implies that we’re going to hear from scientists about their opinions, but all we actually get in its body is a single quote from one scientist as the literal tagline. Talk about clickbait.
