Sourcing for potential Climate Change Alarmism page.

Needs - at least one notable, reliable MSM non-oped describing an instance of Alarmism (completed - Gore's "Greenland's ice sheets will melt drowning the world" claim) per Climate_change_denial and its single Newsweek source. The article can then be expanded with op-eds per CCD.

Article will focus more around media reporting and public figure exhaggerations. Must not be OR, such as simply pointing out "Gore said more/worse hurricanes, science debunks". Must be a MSM source saying that.

Will include "Climate Change Hysteria". A case was diagnosed as such by a pschologist in Australia was extensively reported on by Andrew Bolt in the Herald Sun earlier this year (link to follow)

Build article as neutrally as possible - present quotes in full context (such as Justice Burton's AIT is "alarmist" quote along with him describing the film as "broadly accurate").
