You could just stop reading the news. Humans are not built for dealing with planetary scale events. It's not a cop out. Just live your life like you have so far, and try to be happy and kind to fellow beings. If you have resources to affect the outcome then please do muster your troops, but your message implies this is not so - you are like the most of us, mostly powerless.
Personally, I just don't care. No, not that I don't care for our species or our planet, what I mean is that I'm fine with whatever scenario arrives. If it's full blown apocalypse ... I'll save my distress for when that day arrives (hopefully it won't).
I'm a small bag of meat. I try to live my life ethically, and find joy in small things that bring me pleasure. Then, one day I will be dust. I'm fine with that.
Being scared because everyone screams "calamity calamity calamity!" just puts you on full stress for no good reason.
