Aren't those "other problems" somewhat affected by climate change though?

All those problems were already there even before climate change was a topic, so nothing new regarding that front

I don't think GP was claiming they weren't.

I'd wager they're not binary (absent/present) issues but have many dimensions and a continuum of possible values and thus "climate change makes this problem worse or different" is something new. Random example: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41612-024-00583-8
