I think it's fairly obvious that climate change presents a tremendous threat (I assume that's what the parent is on, it's flagged so I can no longer see it), but a _billion_ is a gross overstatement. I'd recommend checking out Climate Feedback[0], a website I like to check on that is a panel of climate scientists basically reviewing claims on climate change. 99% are them reviewing climate denial, but some in there are reviewing claims overstating the impact of climate change.

- adrianN 4y agoRelatively small disruptions like a pandemic and a localized war have supply chains and food production strained. I think it's plausible that something as serious as global climate change can cause widespread economic collapse, famine, and wars. I'm not sure that climate scientists are best equipped to talk about the fragility of the global economic system.
