Yes, but for me, at this point, it has gone from being informative to just peddling fear. We've been fear mongered for at least 15 years now about climate change. Everyone knows it's an issue, enough with the fear mongering. They're just doing it to sell papers at this point I feel.
Just think, a group of 5 year olds will have a career as journalists writing the exact same articles about climate change in 20 years, just like a group of now 40 year olds did when they were 25, 15 years ago.

- EricE 5y agoWhen I was growing up in the 70's the climate fear pR0n was about the impending ice age. There's always something that has to be a crises - otherwise these media types wouldn't be able to drive eyeballs to their stories.
- smolder 5y agoThe people who pushed that story in the 70s should be ashamed, considering there was more evidence to support a warming theory than a cooling one, even then. Alternatively, they might be pleased if it was some kind of intentional misinformation.
