Can we agree that it's an existential threat to technological civilization? And isn't that enough to conclude that urgent action is needed?

Of course we can’t agree it’s an existential threat. If you consider the people who study existential threats in general, climate change doesn’t even make the list.

I think we can agree there is a some risk of higher costs if climate change is ignored.

Most likely it’ll be beneficial though.
