The trouble with socialism, though, is that any implementation of it strips away meaning in the process of trying to help people.
Meaning comes from a person feeling responsibility for what they do. That responsibility requires exposure to risk if they don't act.
Almost any policy created to help people without a well-guarded limit will quickly become paternalism and, consequently, strip away meaning.

That depends where you stand. CO2 means more flora, as any 5th-grade biology teacher will tell you.
The real place to look for climate change is water movement: rainfall, sea levels, ocean temperature, river levels, humidity, etc.
And, there are redundancies built into the system, such as radiation-consuming and hydrocarbon-consuming bacteria that thrive well and balance out our "destruction".
