More alarmism , no science.

An -ism, well that's it. An -ism trumps. Scheeze...

I'm sorry. I do not understand your comment. My point would be made if you would just type 'global warming' or 'climate change' in the clipmarks search-bar. You will find that the skeptics post mostly clips regarding science, facts, observations, studies, skeptical inquiries. However, we do not get the same info from the alarmists.

Even the first line of the clip is misleading because it continues more alarmism in the non-fact that polar bears are endangered when, in fact, they are thriving.
