I can't see the paywalled article, but I believe the main point of the underlying research was not climate change but the impact on indoor air quality and unrecognized hazard to human health.

I read the paper and they do not contextualize the effects in terms of actual illness or life expectancy.

It’s as useful as saying the emissions from frying food is bad for you, which is true, but simultaneously not really meaningful.
