Unbridled climate alarmism:
"But what about the many millions of people directly threatened, living in low-lying nations?"
"They will die"
Sorry, no:
1) Over 81 years, they will move, not die
2) Adaptation means almost none will move
Unfounded terror scaring people needlessly

Take this new alarmist paper, which made the rounds in the last weeks. It talks about 187 million people displaced — not flooded, not killed.
Obviously, people will not stay and drown.
pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.107…, I wrote about how badly wrong this is here: wsj.com/articles/exami…

But notice their reference for the 187 million (#38)
Here is the paper.
It says the following in the abstract:
187 million, but can be avoided by paying 0.02% of GDP
Should reporters not be responsible for pointing this out, so people don't get so scared?

Will adaptation happen — absolutely:
Everyone will accept paying <0.02% to avoid >5% of GDP costs
And then, instead of 187,000,000 displaced, you have less than 305,000 (at least 600x less)
Shouldn't reporters be obliged to tell people that?
Or okay to just scare them silly?

Claim: Millions will die from rising seas
Fact: They won't die, and almost none have to move
The outcome of this climate alarmism porn is to frighten children and many adults needlessly
How is such outrageous scare campaigning okay?

PS. I only analyzed first part of scare:
'many millions directly threatened: low-lying nations farmers affected by abrupt changes in weather, kids exposed to new diseases?”
Others similar: 5.4 million kids die from entirely well-known, easily curable diseases, not new ones
