Here's another colorful retelling:

199X: We have proxies that show 1998 is the warmest year in history, and things are warming so fast that we're in serious trouble. Give us power!

200X: OK, luckily 1998 was an outlier but we're still warming too much on average. The sea is going to rise and the Arctic is going to be ice-free. Give us power!

201X: OK, the Arctic still has some ice but the Northwest Passage is opening up. The seas are still rising a bit, and here are some scary local flooding and erosion stories. Coral reefs are all going to die. Give us power!

Where are you getting "give us power!" from?

Are climate researchers trying to get elected into positions of power? I haven't seen any evidence of that.

As far as I can tell most people just want to stop burning down the house we live in.
