Climate change is a big problem, but harping on ice-sheet collapse is a strategic mistake. We know a priori that ice sheet collapse is one of the longest-term threats. None of us will experience impact from them in our lifetime, and focusing on them hands the deniers their own talking points to them on a silver platter. Extreme weather events, wet-bulb temperature shifts, arable land changes, and habitat loss are near-term threats that are already having impact.
