I get it, being hysterical makes headlines - but you know what else it does? causes people to tune out and use the previous hysterical, but wrong, proclamations as proof that nothing needs to be done.
You know what also doesn't help? the elite flying around the world in private jets talking about how we are all doomed if we don't do something (like $50 trillion dollars of something)...and then they return to their multi-million dollar, 20 bedroom homes built just feet above sea-level.
Not to mention those same elites in Davos telling each other about this great '$50 Trillion dollar opportunity' - i.e. yet another opportunity for the 1% of the 1% to figure out how to take trillions from people poorer than them, to make themselves even richer by scaring governments and voters into acting, so they can profit.

Why should we believe alarmists at this point? All I see is the elites trying to figure out how to make themselves even richer, by making everyone else poorer - and they have the perfect boogeyman to make it happen.
