Y2K profiteer? I remember those people... canny folk.

As for the climate change content - to be fair, no one really claims the end of the world is near because of apocalyptic temperature rising. That's an exaggerated perception.
The world won't end, and humankind won't die out because of climate change. It might just be that life on earth becomes more difficult. Climate refugees, sea level rise, weather extremes... and those things. Not the end of the world, yet not exactly pleasant. In all likelihood our grandchildren will face the troubles though.

True, although a slightly different topic.
