It is 100% an existential threat, but the existential bit happens in 100 years so of course you're not going to see it materialize over night

No, it’s not, and no, we don’t know that. Humans will survive climate change. Rich countries will survive, too.

We will all suffer. Economically, healthwise and aesthetically. But that’s not existential. Framing it as such is disingenuous and counterproductive.
