    Your drawing a false equivalency. Just because there is an over-reporting of negative stories does not mean that all negative stories are false.

    While climate change news is A popular target for doom scroll fodder, I think in this case it is accurate, and I think it is important to understand the situation well, even if it’s not good news.

      Apart from the fact I’m not drawing any equivalence and I never said the story was false.

        Yeah, but how you gonna win internet points if you’re not overly cynical to the point of hyperbole? /s

        I appreciate you pointing out the obvious negative bent of most current news media. It’s why I don’t bother with them anymore; they don’t care about an accurately weighted story, they want clicks and subscriptions.

        It always reasonable to expect bad news from the popular press .

        This It implies that they’re only reporting it because it is bad news. Which has a whole other host of implications and make sure you’re aware of it.

        Perhaps I read too much into it, but I don’t believe that’s the case.
