> The reality that science shows is far worse than what has permeated mainstream culture

I'm really curious where did you get this information from. I suppose it must not be popular or mainstream media, because of course msm telling you that science shows a worse reality than msm is a contradiction.

So does which primary literature does it come from?

Mainly from the IPCC reports.

Maybe it's a different experience for you, but the IPCC reports are much better than what's permeated mainstream culture around me. I consistently see people saying that we've gotta stop having children, that the Earth can't support modern industrial civilization, that in 100 years we won't be able to grow enough food and half the planet will starve. The IPCC reports don't suggest anything nearly this bad.

Which parts exactly? Because usually it is claimed (in popular and mainstream media) that ipcc reports are toned down for consensus and political support.
