  OK. This article claims that mainstream media is running a scare campaign about climate change, hence the "chicken little" in the title. It suggests a conspiracy, and uses a lot of affective language (words and phrases designed to appeal to emotion rather than reason) rather than building a logical case. To people like myself who have experienced natural disasters unprecedented in our lifetimes, which the vast majority of climate scientists agree are caused by global warming, this kind of article is insulting and belittling. It's not science-based, and it tries to use rhetorical tricks instead of solid arguments. There, is that any better?
