The alternative claim that large scale action won't negatively impact poor or lower middle class groups is more bizarre. Let's assume that there is a cost to counteracting climate change. it is not some kind of free lunch.
Then this is only going to not negatively impact the poor or lower-middle class groups if they can push all the cost onto other groups. However, then you have to ask yourself why haven't the poor or lower middle class groups been able to carve out a larger slice of the pie by increasing transfers from other groups to themselves.
So suddenly these other groups are going to act more generously to the poor and lower middle class over climate change but not generally. That seems a bit of a leap.
