> Is it even clear that climate change is the biggest risk to address now?

Did you know: more than one thing can happen in the world at once!

Fighting climate change doesn't prevent us spotting or stopping asteroids, or supervolcanoes, or whatever. Where in the world did you get such zero-sum nonsense from?

The satellites we use to monitor CO2 levels in the atmosphere are great at spotting volcanic activity.

Building those satellites and getting them into orbit hasn't 'depleted our allocated space launches'; it's made us better at getting to space; which makes us more prepared for sending asteroid intercept/divert missions.

That is precisely my concern! Where in the world did you get that nonsense that capacity for chance and production is unlimited? So if an asteroid defense were(!) to be more urgent (don't say it is) than that might need the resources first.

Btw. spotting volcanic activity will not help you on a big eruption that changes the climate for millions of years (Deccan Traps anyone?). No sure anything will help us in such a scenario, to be honest

Congratulations, you got there in the end.

Meanwhile, Dutch activists have made some minor progress in the fight to fix the climate.

I think because it is clear that climate change is done by humans. It's also something we can stop by stopping the way we consume energy. This makes us responsible.
