Climate change isn't a risk that needs mitigation, it is not a contingency of hypothetical events. It is happening right now, and lives are already being claimed.

Maybe you are shielded from that and want to keep your lifestyle rather than adapting.

We don’t actually know that.

We don’t have a second, identical Earth, where an industrial revolution powered by coal and oil and gas didn’t happen.

Maybe you don't know it. The rest of us who can read scientific work have a pretty good idea.
