Wait, so you want to blame absolutely everything on climate change, so that people get super scared and do something about it?
That doesn't seem dishonest to you?
For example the story in this article has exactly zero to do with climate change - but I assume you would be happy to blame it on climate change anyway?
> to avoid a whole bunch of extinction and ecosystem collapse
Really? Who is predicting that? Only in the worst case scenarios will that happen, and the data is not trending that way. You are so caught up in your desire to fearmonger-for-change that you have gone a full circle: Now you are trying to prevent a catastrophe you yourself invented.
And that attitude is why society's belief in the reliability of science has never been lower.

Tell the truth. Don't lie to get change.
