I will disagree here, science usually is quite biased! There are always lines of thinking that get into fashion, where exaggerated claims are more common.
Climate change is one of those fields.
Everybody and their little sister want to be at the forefront, and they can only get there if they either claim to the savior or become that one special person that points out yet another imminent catastrophe. It is like a 11'o clock news, nothing but bad news to get people tune in.
Just to make sure, I want clearly state that I do believe that human-induced climate change is taking place. And that we should act, reducing waste, unnecessary air travel etc.
On the other hand, how many times do we read about that there could beneficial aspects to climate change? Right now I can't recall any instance. This is what I don't buy. Every change will suck for some, it might be better for others. Talking about anything positive in the context is taboo and it is part of the scientific bias that I believe is present. makes us all weaker because we can't quite prepare for something built on exaggerations and sensationalism.
We reward those that bring us bad news.
