It's always "them" who don't understand, not "us". "We" have the clue, "they" don't.
In fact, it's this person who doesn't understand climate change. That's why deniers exist -- while climate change is real and important, those on the other side still misrepresent it.

It's like being correct that God exists -- and then claiming thus anybody who disputes "indulgences" is a heretic and must be excommunicated as a denier. No, Martin Luther believed in God, he just didn't believe in the excesses of the church.
No, climate change doesn't make everything worse. On average, 50% of changes are for the better, 50% are for the worse. The idea that climate change can only make things worse is so statistically improbable as to automatically be rejected by serious people

Yes, on the whole the costs of climate change are worse for us. We invest in the status quo, so any change will cause problems, whether the climate gets colder, or the climate gets wormer.
Half the world's population lives close the coast, for example, so a small rise in sea level is going to require large investment in sea walls, for example, or moving half the worlds cities a few kilometers away from the sea.
But on the whole, climate change and CO2 in the atmosphere leads to increased crop yields. But on the "whole" -- it still means that many people are going to experience reduces crop yeilds.
Unfortunately, much of the world has settled where crops grow now, meaning, climate change means more have to move to Canada and Siberia.
