You don't give any examples so it's hard to be specific. But if you do; we can tell you why the world isn't ending.
Long term worries are real. Population, resources and global warming (I'll believe 'there's disagreement among the scientists' when the denials are from climate scientists). But they are LONG term. We are heading for a bad mid century. Nothing in the next decade.
Lighten up and be glad you have a family!
