I think signaling that you don’t think GHG emissions are important does not help your message here /​ makes this less convincing that it would otherwise be!
You may well be right. I tend to think it is good to be honest about one’s views if readers would want to know them, even if they make the piece less persuasive in some sense. Some readers worried about climate change may also find it interesting that deaths from non-optimal temperature are predicted to decrease in the North for something close to the median global warming scenario[1], which contrasts with claims that the impacts of global warming is increasingly large even there.
Thanks, Johannes!

This is not to say that global warming is beneficial. Deaths from non-optimal temperature might decrease more with less warming.
