I’m not sure why it’s so hard for you to grasp the nuance here. You seem to view everything as black and white. Shooting someone in the head is equal to contributing to CO2 which may or may not threaten someone’s life in the distant future.

I mean it’s pretty clear a spiked tree is a danger and potentially lethal.

And it’s pretty clear climate change isn’t. And it’s pretty clear pollution isn’t a lethal threat to a swimmer.

If you cant grasp the gray area here I’m not sure it really worth more discussion. It’s a very common logical mistake I see on HN.
