Surely these problems exist because everyone takes that attitude. Maybe we should all spend a bit less time trying to forget these things are happening and a bit more trying to so something about them?
I suppose it's both.

On the other hand, you have to be incredibly ignorant of current affairs not to worry that .....
We're ruining our planet...
