I don't understand how The Guardian readers get through a normal day. Every headline on that page is doom-and-gloom news designed to get you to be fearful or panic about it.

Are they accurate or inaccurate?

Because I'd quite like to be informed about accurate incoming doom.

Doom-and-gloom, fear and anger are the predominant emotions in the entire journalism industry.

Very few places are doing any just-the-facts reporting.

The articles cover an actual study, that wasn't theoretical but based on data of sampling. What kind of just-the-facts reporting do you actually want?

I don't think we are biologically far enough removed from "Oh my god, run, bear/snake/lion!"

And we may not be built (biologically) for the level of comfort that the majority of us (more so here on hacker news) live in.

I think the doom and gloom serves a purpose for a lot of people.
