Our brains are biased toward negative information as a survival mechanism. Positive information is always welcome but negative information conveys a threat.
That said, there is very little any of us can do at this point. Scientists are discovering microplastics in infants, extinction events, new diseases, etc. No one cares, least of all corporations.
Dooming on social media won't do anything but depress people for no reason.
