Everything is not fine, however. We are currently experiencing the effects of global warming. In the first world we are largely insulated from this but we've seen more frequent severe weather (of the 15 busiest hurricane seasons on record -- with records dating back to the 19th century or so -- 10 have been since 2000). Severe drought and heat have also become more common. We've seen migration patterns of wildlife change and that has lead to impacts on communities that rely on those for their livlihood (native communities for example). We've seen the sea level rise 88mm since 1993. There have been real impacts. Just because we don't feel it in the first world, doesn't mean people haven't been impacted.
