...you mean the crushing majority of scientists? The people best qualified to examine the issue? All of them are 'alarmists'?
It's a little naive to think that all climate change alarmists are scientists. Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio are no more qualified to understand the data than you or I. Gore's characterization of climate change has been proven to be so grossly politically motivated that as a result of Dimmock v Secretary of State for Education and Skills that the government issued "guidance notes" to teachers which are required when screening An Inconvenient Truth in British schools. DiCaprio has a G.E.D. without any higher education as near as I can tell.
It's also a little naive to think that no scientists are alarmists... For instance the British physicist Prof. Brian Cox who gained notoriety as an alarmist for throwing climate change graphs at people on a BBC panel discussion between his classes on theoretical time travel.
Scientists are starting to wake up to the notion that the climate data is not nearly as dire as many scientists in this crushing majority would have us believe. About 4 hours ago, an article was published online by the Irish Times addressing this very subject.
