Yes, which is why I'm so opposed to "green new deal" as a waste of money. I think we should be focusing more on toxic emissions, you know the kind that give everyone cancer and lung disease, instead of greenhouse gases.
The US and Europe are uniquely situated to deal with any destabilizing effects of climate change due to our wealth and comparatively low population.
Over the next 50 years Africa will undergo a population boom and subsequent refugee crisis that will threaten the entire planet, and their inability to adapt to climate change could be a mitigating factor. In effect we're pyrogens giving the planet a fever.

i agree with all this (especially focusing on toxic emissions) except maybe the part that we are pyrogens giving the planet a "fever". From our perspective that is a potentially valid claim because a warming planet could make things difficult for modern man, but it could be better for the planet and life in general. yeah, some species unable to adapt will be lost, but many more will thrive and/or emerge ^^ we may wipeout humanity by warming the globe, but well hardly damage the planet or impede life in general. This may sound like a retraded distinction, but I think it is worth addressing because of its own mplications ^^
