In general, if journalists took climate change seriously, most of media would be about it; most screens would be half about it, with tickers and banners constantly on it. The anti-alarmists are the half-assers who took the air out of it.

Pro tip: just pour boiling water over a bowl of rolled oats and let them soak for a few minutes.
