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.
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.

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.
