There is an important difference between AI risk and climate risk. The climate risk is indifferent to humans. This isn't ideal. But AI risk might deliberately try to bypass or thwart or adversarially remove human agency, which would be bad in a different way.
Please no.<p>Climate change, or specifically rising CO2, something that is undesirable and requires technological fixes, has been hijacked by disaffected socialists in the wake of the fall of communism as a political excuse to try and tell people how to live. They've taken a tractable problem and turned it into a political battle and power grab. Let's not try repeating that somewhere else. Incidentally, that's exactly what the "AI doomers" are already doing, trying the political angle to gain advantage and power for themselves.
