If you ignore media hysteria and read the actual reports from actual scientists, global warming isn’t even going to be that bad. The world will warm by a few degrees and we will deal with it because we will be richer and have more technology. There are way bigger concerns than global warming.

My dude, it's very bad or worse than most people think it is. That's the only message by scientists. "Economists" don't count. It's just not easily solvable because entrenched political positions and interests, to an extent where it's pointless to care about it. We can only hope for technology to fix some of it, for the survivors, after the first real big waves of destruction came in. No one would take this risk and accept the loss of ecosystems intentionally.
