That's on an abstract level. There is climate change, and humans play a role in it. To what extend we can reduce impact is a matter of debate, and whilst detailed arcane discussions are interesting, they aren't really necessary in practice for everyone. On a more practical level we can observe both droughts and flooding, deforestation and pollution of all kinds (air, water, soil, plastic). These are all urgent matters.
