If you can't see how obviously in peril the planet is, you're just ignorant. It isn't "alarmist", it's reality. Here's the data I'm basing my opinions on:
IF you have other data that doesn't show the temperature rising consistently and rather concerningly, then go ahead and share it.
Until those graphs start going down, we can project that they just keep going up. No, the world isn't ending "$NEXT_YEAR", nor will it "end", but it will become extremely uncomfortable and rather dire for billions of people if the current trend continues - and it could happen a lot faster than you would be able to estimate. That's why climate science is so important. We have to act, or the world is very likely to end up in a bad, bad place.
The big problem is more heat amplifies the problems and accelerates the heating. Those charts in the near future are likely to hockey-stick at some point, and then I'd like to see the gymnastics people will have to do to handwave it away.
