Have you noticed how you hear about 100 reports about how things may be worse than we though, for each report about the opposite?

This says nothing about science, and a lot about what stories get people's attention.



Yea, it's disappointing how biased the reporting is. I suspect the science is almost as biased. Even the papers that do show that things aren't as bad as we thought find some way to say "Don't worry, it's still bad!"


What this says about science is that the consensus from all the experts who have spent man-centuries looking at this is that we're looking at a huge shitshow.


I'm not at all talking about climate change specifically.

This applies to any issue that humanity is worrying about.
