Yes I think there is catastrophizing, and that some political moves due to that catastrophizing are very bad.

For example, the fight against farmers.The root cause of global warming is that sequestered CO2 from underground is being pumped into the atmosphere, and vegetation cannot draw it back down fast enough. CO2 and methane from farm animals came out of the atmosphere in the first place, and if they counted that farming would be net-zero. But they don't count it because either they are idiots, or vegan activists, or hate farmers due to them being right wing, or something else I dunno. But it is clearly horrible policy and will cause poor people to suffer as food gets a lot more expensive.
