No, but I'd prefer not to have to deal with more and more extreme weather events, increased sea levels, etc.
The planet will survive, we as a species probably too, but it's going to get shittier for many of us.

No, but our quality of life sure will (and already has for some people)

The world didn't end after the Black death and it did not end after WW2. And it will not end after a nuclear war.
So we should never do anything because the world is never going to end.

no no, actually the sun will swallow the earth in a few million years so thats why we should do nothing.
(/s but there certainly is a strain of the media/public that blasted right past “it’s not real” to “welp it’s real and it’s too late to do anything about it, let’s do nothing”.)
