Humanity's evolved instincts to do good for themselves can prove to be bad for the planet in the long run (over-population, consuming resources, aggressive technologies, etc.), and thus for future people. That's what produces climate change, much more than any deliberate evils IMO.
So what I have been trying to convey is that human nature, including our doing good for ourselves (and not our just being selfish and doing evil), will not help us deal with climate change in the timely manner required. The problems with denialists and Trump and all of that are on top of what was already a perhaps intractably difficult problem, for that reason.
So Trump's reelection was the last straw for me.
