Exactly, it does always irk me when people call it an existential threat to humanity. That's not to say it isn't a huge problem. But it won't wipe us out. Some areas will also become more habitable (eg Siberia)

The mass migration of people across borders as a result of climate change might cause wars that are such a threat though. But still I don't consider climate change itself as such.

I said an existential threat, not an existential threat to humanity. For the majority of us, and for our nation, it is indeed an existential threat.

Regardless, the pedantry is unwarranted.
