Perhaps I should be worried about climate change after all

The most deadly,viscous, unpredictable scourge of snakes are everywhere, in all states and are around in all seasons.
This scourge and menace to our very lives are found in abundance in the National Parliament in Canberra, each and every state and territory parliament,and EVERY city, regional and social council.
These vipers pose a greater threat to society than climate change as their venom infects every facet of our lives everywhere!
Blowing up Nord Stream did not help.
Pollution and land degradation is the greater problem. Humans will adapt, not worried about them, it's all the other species that I'm concerned about.
Flora and Fauna have a niche temperature range where they may exist and reproduce. When there were climatic changes in times past, species migrated either North or South to maintain this niche to survive. To do this you need ecological corridors the species are able to traverse. There are very few corridors now, instead we have ecological islands, bounded by obstacles (cleared/ altered spaces) species will be unable to traverse. They will die out. We are further degrading the habitat that is left through pollution.
This 21st century was always going to be a century of mass extinctions the way humans were and still are progressing. A great shame as variety is the spice of life and with less ecological variety, our human lives will be much less as well.
NB Reptiles are far more efficient and adaptable at survival than us mammals. With a warmer climate, they may once again rule on Earth.
Climate change is now killing thousands of more people every year. Being more concerned about it is not a bad idea.
Perhaps we should all be much more concerned I'm afraid.
