I think there are several more serious problems than climate change. Although poverty in the developing world is shrinking considerably, I still see that as the biggest threat to the human condition. It's not even close--and solving the poverty problem also largely solves the climate problem, in terms of impacts on society, because although raising the world out of poverty will actually make climate change worse, the people will become far more resilient to it. And more resilient people also are more likely to establish and support more resilient ecosystems. And the biggest problem in ecosystems is overhunting and overfishing. Societies are are wealthier are more likely to better manage their natural areas. So, I see it as a broad win to both nature and society to prioritize things that bring the world out of poverty above any other objective.
