It’s not an “or”, it’s an “and” situation. We are both destroying the planet and we only get bad news.

Unfortunately, nobody cares about good news. Sure, we all like good news but it doesn’t drive engagement so massive companies can’t profit off of it.

If you look for it, there is good news out there. Advancements in green energy (specifically solar) and battery tech is really encouraging, and there’s so much more happening to counter act climate change. But climate change being a hoax is still something a large portion of the world’s political parties still ideologically tie themselves to. Until it get much worse, they will continue to claw to that lie. And as long as that lie continues, we’ll need stories like this.

Who cares about the good news? On balance it's irrelevant and where it's not there's thousands of other things to work on next. Anyone who wants news modified around their feelings, to hear about puppies returned to their owners, should go read fiction and leave reality to the adults.

There is an urgent, multi-layered problem to solve. Needing to feel good through this is pathetic. Humanity at its weakest.
