It needs to be alarmist, how else will people really stop using fossil fuels. Some parts of the US it is close to impossible to live without fossil fuels.
Until the Gov. and people start getting serious, future generations will be in a lot of hurt. Already small parts of the world is starting to see "wet bulb" temperatures.
Where I am, we no longer get a real "winter", maybe a bit of snow and maybe the temps fall below 32F (0C) for a few weeks. Here, we use get a week or 2 or 3 with temps below -15F (-25C). Now we are lucky to see a day or 2 below 0F (-17C).
I'm not talking about whether climate is a big problem or not, I'm talking about the writing style causing problems. That you cite the climate data makes me think you missed my point. We already agree on the data.
