JP Morgan economists warn climate crisis is threat to human race

Why do you think it's a "fake" crisis? All of the world's climate scientists (spanning multiple disciplines) are lying or exaggerating...for what exactly? More research grants? They could probably get more money by writing papers denying there's a problem.

"Things are better than ever" is a meaningless statement. The Titanic was going great until it hit that iceberg. Our lookouts have been loudly warning us of this iceberg for decades - and their predictions have been largely correct.

That itself is an exaggeration. Most of the world's scientists have nothing to do with climate science.

Thanks for the pedantic hair-splitting. I'll update my comment to say "all of the world's climate scientists". But it's not a stretch to say "most scientists in general". I'd wager > 50% of academics, of any discipline, agree it's happening and we need to act.
