Climate change is not an existential crisis. Not to the entire humanity atleast. This kind of extremist thinking and extraggerating just makes me want to check out completely because it feels like there's no one reasonable in the room.
Climate change will kill billions, and there's a decent chance that each one of us might be in those billions. Even if it won't kill 100% of humanity, it will probably kill a number of governments, our current way of life, and there's no guarantee it won't kill me. It's an existential threat in the same way that Russian roulette is.
That's a bold claim to say it's going to kill billions of people. What are you basing this on?
EDIT:
"Don't worry guys your kids will only live in a dystopian hellhole, it's not that bad"
Not what I said
If you're not at least mildly concerned by scientists (people who've spent years if not decades building up their reputation amongst many many peers) grabbing their hair and shouting about the incoming, slowly accelerating danger, then... Please. Checkout and get out of humanity's way.
Is that what I said?
We're all sorry you weren't privileged enough to be equipped with the ability to read between lines or understand gists. Good luck to you.
