We have made great progress on pollution and air quality (actual threats to people), this idea that we have an immediate climate emergency just seems hysterical to me.
And yes, there are areas of the world that have water issues or other things, but thats because 1000 years ago we had 5% of the population we do now and couldn't ever dream of living in certain climates.
