Shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.
We frequently read alarming reports on the prevalence of acute climate change anxiety among young people.
This children's book by Akrum Kahn appears to be a particularly irresponsible, ignorant and reprehensible contribution.
It is slavishly reviewed by Deborah Jones for The Australian.
Putting another point of view, our Briefing Note 21-19.

The release of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has triggered an explosion of bad news stories about the impending disasters that will be caused by global warming.
The Critical Issue is that fake news is circulating regardless of the best available evidence.
Much of the bad news comes from the 41 page Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis , Summary for Policymakers that is released for the benefit of politicians and journalists who are too busy to read the report.
Frequently the alarming news in the summary is contradicted by the scientific papers in the 4000 pages of the main report
Some of the bad news is not even in the summary, like the widely reported “Code Red” warning that was invented by the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
