The science shows the current predicament and the fact that any “good things” are based on the idea of massive reforms (or even revolutions) occurring. This makes it very easily to estimate how bad the situation is based on what’s not happening.
As the climate chaos gets worse, it’s reasonable to expect more bad news, not less.
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.

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.
