Bad yes, but once population growth reverses, rent will stop rising and basically everything else has increased less than incomes. Just need more old people to die, the young are already not reproducing much so that’s all that’s needed.

One might speculate that climate change could drastically increase CoL despite a shrinking population.

No offense, but your understanding of climate change is very severely out of date. The world isn’t just going to get a few degrees warmer uniformly. Most people live places warmer than Europe and they won’t just stay to die beyond wet bulb temperatures. Even Europe will see much worse instability, killing crops and impacting fresh water access. 39,000 people just died of the heat.
Whoever told you climate change will make anybody better off, you need to angrily yell at them for misinforming you so severely. Don’t take my word for it either! Look it up on Wikipedia. This will either directly impact your survival, or directly impact how young people react to your words.
