> It's said to be a time of crisis

The news will always tell you there is a Major Crisis, and things are Going To Hell.

That's what sells, and as long as you understand that, consuming news can be informative. But be careful to not base your worldview on the news.

This is not just news corps. Its well established scientific fact that we are in a state of environmental crisis and unless there is huge change to so many things in society we will be beyond the point of return.
