Part 2/9:
Ritchie advocates for a shift in perspective, urging us to disengage from the negative news cycle and focus instead on the historical data that showcases humanity's capability for problem-solving. By stepping back and examining our past successes in tackling significant environmental challenges, we can recognize that, although we are confronted with serious issues today, they are solvable.
