Look, everyone knows that the climate is fucked. It would take a big all in push to fix it. We haven't even started. And, having just tried to get our act together to drive a new emerging disease into extinction, something that should have been relatively easy, we failed and devolved into such fractious infighting over that simple thing that no one even wants to outright acknowledge how fucked we are.

So, yeah. You could say there's a bit of an unshakable gloom, if that's what you're into.
