In a world where by all measures we are doing better than in any other period of human history, across the board, localized events like this do not constitute a catastrophe. And by all accounts the "cure" would be far worse financially on impoverished nations than the supposed "disease". Imo this is more leftist political propaganda. Is the climate changing? Well considering the fact that the geologic record indicates our climate makes drastic swings with some regularity then climate change should be no surprise to anyone. Should we adapt to it? By all means, that is why we are where we are in the first place, our ability to adapt. Should we always be on the lookout for more efficient and less harmful ways to power our world? Damn straight. Should we enact drastic and demonstrably harmful measures in the short-term that may or may not have an effect on a situation that may or may not really be a problem? Hell no.
