The article is intended to be a call to action, not to encourage people to embrace doomerism.
Yes, things are bad, which is why we need to work as quickly as possible to save all we can. Vote, push your government, take direct action, donate to people who are taking direct action.

Even if a lot of the corporate noise about it is greenwashing, the fact that advertising is being targeted that way indicates that people do care enough to change some of their spending habits.
