For all the climate alarmists - look at news/stories from around the 60s to the 80s - we should already be extinct by now. Not saying we humans don’t have an impact, but this alarmism is not new and every generation has the same doom and gloom predictions. We should be treating our world with more respect, however, we are not 10, 20 or even 50 years away from complete disaster.

News stories are not and never have been science. 

The news has a notoriously shit relationship with science. That doesn't mean that the science is incorrect. That said, the science has improved by leaps and bounds over the last sixty years, so even if the science was flawed back then, that doesn't say anything about the accuracy of today's science.
