I do; every time you watch the news on TV, there is always a "special report" about the impending doom.
This occurs so frequently, that the shock value has worn off. Next!

Yeah its painful, I daren't turn on a light in case the antarctic melts or some shanty town gets flooded. All because someone assumed that everything should be constant even though it never has been.

The fatigue comes because people are not willing to take any action to change the current unsustainable situation.
So all we get is the problem, none of the solutions.
There are lots of positive opportunities available at this time in our global culture, but you have to make a small effort to find out about them - "the revolution will not be telivised" (Gil Scott Heron).
Why don't they report on the wonderful electric cars we could be driving, www.teslamotors.com.
or how to save money & consume less and be happier ...
it's all about power & control through addiciction to unsustainable consumerism & the myth of infinite industrial growth on a finite planet.
suggest listening to the Reith lecture for a rounded perspecitve on some of the issues http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/reith/

I really do as well. I know its a big problem, but for crying out loud it comes up everywhere! And the worst people are the'green converts' who've only just realised that its real, and really have no idea of what is truly happening, and bring it up on every hot day!

I think we'd do better to focus on the 10,000 people who starve each day, the 40,000 children who die from tainted water every day and the millions of people with AIDS but then I guess the fact that temperature went up a degree in a hundred years is much more important.

I guess you could call it that. Climate change actually does not exist, so it makes me feel good in a way, knowing that I can go up to Gore in a couple of years after he's been proven wrong and laugh at him lol.

You're right. It's an artificial emergency -- more about politics than science.
