Postponing apocalypse

Tim Morton has repeatedly argued that an apocalyptic environmentalism is also part of the problem.  Esthetically, it postpones the immediacy of an ecological crisis.  Somehow, it is not in our world - or our practice of worlding.  This looks like a great response to one of his lectures.  I have been considering dealing with similar questions in La lluvia amarilla, which looks at regional landscape after human abandonment.  Its post-apocalyptic world tries to seal itself into a unified style (of place), but the outside keeps invading.  More soon on this.
