Modern day catastrophism

[ben_w]

We can fix this stuff we know about now, and give future centuries a strong foundation upon which to recognise and solve the problems they know about.

Only, we can't do that by just dismissing any discussion of the current problems — the best way to have a catastrophe is to ignore all the problems.

You can easily measure the catastrophe in progress. It's hard to call that some sort of panic.
