It's time for this article:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2019/11/25/why-everything-they-say-about-climate-change-is-wrong/#6b3fd7bd12d6

Journalists and activists alike have an obligation to describe environmental problems honestly and accurately, even if they fear doing so will reduce their news value or salience with the public. There is good evidence that the catastrophist framing of climate change is self-defeating because it alienates and polarizes many people. And exaggerating climate change risks distracting us from other important issues including ones we might have more near-term control over.

Read this. There's an image of an inferno placed right under the headline for a climate change article on the CBC. It's meant to scare and shock people into action "omg the world is going to be on fire!".  There's lot of articles that use this imagery.  Little kids are literally having nightmares fearing climate change because of all the doom people put out there about.
