", says IPCC" is missing from the headline. It's ironic this comes from the IPCC because it (increased anxiety etc) seems like it's exactly what the political climate change organizations want

We've definitely seen this with covid, people have been driven crazy with fear due to media and politicians trying to get people to pay attention to them, and not caring who gets caught up in the fear mongering.

We need a better rational approach to address challenges without trying to frame everything as an existential crisis. Such framing has a real negative effect on people . It polarizes, and it makes some people to nuts. And iy doesn't actually help solve the problem.
