That's why I avoid all of those sites and try to look at the research itself only. I may not fully comprehend it all, but I know enough about research methodology to try to spot flaws, problems, manipulation and deception in the research. I automatically discard opinion stuff as it is always biased, and would normally discard that article for just that reason.

A further comment I would like to make is, yes I believe we are heading into very troubled times. But I have no motivations to want to believe it, in fact I would argue the exact opposite, that I have far more to motivate me not to want to believe any of it. It is so much easier to believe that their isn't a problem. I am not biased towards believing it, I am actually biased towards not wanting to, as most people would be.
