Yeah it's like every time you turn around there's a dozen more articles on how we are actively wrecking the shit out of our planet.

I'm kind of at the point where I just assume 99% of humanity is going to die off at some point (might even live to see it whee).

And, hopefully, humanity will never be able to reconstruct modern society because we've used up all the easily discoverable resources.

We'll just be stuck in the iron, bronze or probably stone age until rats evolve and destroy us in a million years.
