Everything is a catastrophic problem to someone. Sensationalism is about the worst way to communicate this, and is likely why so many refuse to believe. The reality of climate change is that we're trading inhospitable poles for an inhospitable equator.

It's not as though humans are the most adaptive life form in existence.
