So if it's not your problem it's not a problem at all?

Nth order effects will make it your problem pretty quickly.

Many are blind to exponentially growing phenomena.

One good example is that a several degree increase can melt the Siberian ice and release methane stores equivalent to 100 years of maximal human CO2 footprint. That's already a massive nth order effect.

Sometimes problems are not that simple.
