The "apocalyptic claims" about climate change are actually consensus minimums from large numbers of climate scientists. Headlines should generally read something like this: "Thousands of climate scientists come together and agree that the minimum amount of climate change we can expect is XXXXXX" That's what consensus means, of course. The minimum that everyone agrees on is what is published. If you look at, say, median predictions of the group, it will probably be much worse than these IPCC reports describe (and indeed, the IPCC reports get much worse with each new edition as even the climate sluggards can no longer deny the weight of incoming evidence). That should put the overall problem into very stark relief.
