I think the crucial tipping points were passed around 1990. The habitable zone will probably shrink dramatically in the next 100 years (with confidence around 80%), and we may even go extinct (confidence 10%). We should put considerable resources into post-apocalyptic science.
Are you serving beliefs or are you serving truth? I share your goals wrt conservation and agree that we should work towards that. At the same time, I don't think we get to choose the universe we find ourselves in, and being honest is important.

I don't see how not accepting the possibility that we are effed helps. But it often makes sense to put all of one's resources on a small possibility, especially if others don't. (I am very concerned that almost nobody plans for the worst case, though.)
