Yes, it's overhyped as a threat, but you don't get to unilaterally decide that the definition of "existential" we use is the only one. They are using the word reasonably - whole cities will cease to exist due to warming. (Even if AI kills us all first. Which is plausible.)

Something that's an existential threat to human civilisation as it is now, is not "the end of the world". Words mean things. They mean the things they mean instead of the things that they don't mean.
