  • My message literally starts by saying climate change is bad. It will be catastrophic. At no point have I claimed otherwise.

    It will however not be civilization ending. It’s not an existential threat to humanity like an asteroid impact or super volcano eruption would be.

    According to WHO: “Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year, from undernutrition, malaria, diarrhoea and heat stress alone.”

    Also: “Even after accounting for adaptation, an additional 1.5 million people die per year from climate change by 2100 if past emissions trends continue.”

    That’s about the same as what road accidents or diabetes kills every year.
