"Although climate change will have serious consequences - particularly for people in the poorest countries - it will not lead to humanity's demise,"
"Although climate change will hurt poor people more than anyone else, for the vast majority of them it will not be the only or even the biggest threat to their lives and welfare,"
""cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization.""
Climate change will cause serious consequences, especially for people in the poorest countries, but it will not result in humanity’s demise.

Human well-being metrics should complement temperature metrics when assessing priorities. For most vulnerable populations, poverty and disease remain larger and more immediate threats to lives and welfare than climate impacts alone.
