Climate change will kill billions, and there's a decent chance that each one of us might be in those billions. Even if it won't kill 100% of humanity, it will probably kill a number of governments, our current way of life, and there's no guarantee it won't kill me. It's an existential threat in the same way that Russian roulette is.
That's a bold claim to say it's going to kill billions of people. What are you basing this on?
