> but not Climate Change, Obesity, Air Pollution,

How does Climate Change directly kills people now? In its most catastrophic failure in the future, it will. But we still have time to fix it.

Obesity is a Choice. I have never heard of people getting Obesity in third world countries where they dont even have enough food.

Air Pollution may shorten our life spans, but its origin also improves our quality of living and lengthen our life expectancy. So it really is a trade off.

I would even go as far as to say if anyone thinks we should put those money for Climate Change and not to save those elderly will be morally wrong. But that is just my personal opinion.

Climate change should be treated as an emergency, we are already on an unavoidable course for misery. It cant be mitigated any more. If you read IPCC report, it assumes massive negative emissions, larger in cost than the entire oil industry we have today.

Preventing climate change is a fantasy. Sont take it from me, watch Bill Gates discuss the topic.
