The reason climate change is dangerous is that it threatens food supplies and homes of millions of people. But the reason people starve or go homeless is not due to scarcity of food or land. Problems created by people of fairness, justice and equality of opportunity are more immediate threats to human dignity and welfare. People are currently killed, tortured, and abused because of that. Human/civil rights are in no good shape globally, and even here in the US we aren't doing so well. Climate change is a problem but it has become a run away train of political and bureaucratic inertia, just like the war on poverty and the war on drugs, but even more exaggerated. While we talk about climate change--high-and-mighty from the comforts of well-paying gigs--causing people to starve or go homeless, there are real people right now In this world who are starving, dying, or homeless with little to no hope.
