You can take a serious problem serious without trying to out-compete each other on doomsday scenarios.

We've got a bad problem. It's going to cause many vulnerable species to go extinct. It will badly hurt humans, disrupt food supplies, displace many people, make some areas uninhabitable, but climate change is NOT cause human extinction or 900°F surface temperatures.

...At least not for hundreds of millions of years. The sun is slowly getting hotter, and this planet is screwed long term no matter how well-behaved humans try to be.
