I also dislike it for different but related reasons. For one, while I believe in anthropogenic climate change, I don't think itst as scary as purported, and if I'm wrong about that, at the very least I don't think humanity can solve the problem without killing everyone. I think that the focus on climate change takes away from resources that can be directed at more tangible, solveable problems that people can wrap their head around, like chemical introduction into biomes, plastic, deforestation, overfishing, extinction of important species due to human action and probably much more. Think of what was accomplished before climate change became the main focus. We ended leaded gasoline and lead poisoning, we fixed the ozone layer, we instituted rotating logging land to maintain forests, we mandated commercial fishing use techniques that don't kill dolphins as bycatch, we refused NOx emissions considerably, we basically ended littering in and around cities in western countries, and again, more I'm not thinking. It seems though nowadays that none of the problems left to be resolved are being seriously pursued because everyone's focused on greenhouse gasses. There's so much damage being done that isn't carbon dioxide that simply doesn't get enough attention because climate change sucked all the air out the room.
