15 to 20 years ago the world was on the brink of collapse due to peak oil. And well that didn't happen..... I'm not trying to dismiss the climate change issue, but remember the media loves sensationalist articles, as that's what sells views. And what's more sensational than selling the story that we are on the brink of extinction?
Case in point, if you've watched the news over the past week you'd expect Paris to be a warzone with protests everywhere and the city burning to the ground. A freind visited last week, going to all the usual tourist places, and said they didn't see a single protest or building burning. There was uncollected trash though - in neat piles next to the bins.

Last year was the highest level of ice for the last 12 years and ice levels are stable for the last decade: https://dailysceptic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-35.png https://dailysceptic.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/image-35... Also, the trend on graph only looks alarming because it's been truncated and covers a relatively short period of time. Go back to old IPCC reports and the graphs show levels were much lower than today and then grew rapidly at the start of the 70s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3qST_g7z8Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3qST_g7z8Y
