...(a) problem doesn't have to terminate our species in order to be taken seriously as a threat.
But of course it helps the democrat cause to say otherwise. As Bernie and Warren continuously do.

Fool.

I already have. If you don’t understand that climate change does NOT threaten our existence I can’t make it any clearer than that.

I understand that you want to think it isn’t. No you have not made an argument that it isn’t.

By  continuing  to focus on growing the economy. Climate Change poses challenges that will cost money to adapt to.

Lol. The Republican position on climate change is that no one should spend money on mitigation or adaptation to climate change. So no, focusing on what they would be focusing on anyway is not proof of taking the threat seriously.

Want to try again, on both counts?

I know it isn’t. Maybe you need more time in ESL classes.

No.

I grew up on the South Shore of Long Island. Experienced hurricanes, nor’easters, blizzards, etc.

We’re experiencing five hundred year floods and extreme hurricanes every other year, thanks n part to our carbon policies.

Europe has never experienced such prolonged extreme heat. The polar ice is melting causing sea levels to rise...

The future envisioned by conservatives is the Jetsons (see? no termination of the species so stop being alarmist!) living within a controlled environment way up high in what’s left of the atmosphere with no thought about the poor motherfuckers left on the ground.

Those of us who remember criticism from the right over Obama saying ISIS was not an existential threat find your current line of.argument remarkable in its mendacity.

Not remarkable at all. Business as usual.

What would convince you that it does threaten our existence?

GOP playbook...

You see the shit they pulled in NC today? Virginia GOP did the same bullshit on Inauguration Day 2013.

Increased sea level wipes out current coastal cities, destroying the global economy.

Increased heat causes current crop rotations to fail, while happening too fast for ready transition to the new ones to accommodate the volume of agriculture we need.

Shifting of climate zones causes "circle of life" in multiple regions to fail, eliminating most pollinating species, leading to further crop failure, dying off of fish in major zones, and other food sources.

Climate zone changes also move disease-born insects into regions where the animal life has no antibodies for them, potentially destroying the livestock that feeds many of us, whether chickens, pigs, or cows.

Avian flu and swine flu variants arrive, but with collapse of economy, CDC doesn't have the resources to construct a good counter to one or more such things.

Since you asked.

Also: "existential" for many people does not mean extinction of humanity, "merely" extinction of our current level of "civilization," which this could do all too easily.

Again, Ward, what would convince you that this is a threat that is worth considering action to prevent?

Jim’s advanced Syphilis does not give him enough time. The disease, so immediate, overshadows any other concerns. Since he has no legacy, that not an issue either.
