The climate would be more important. Global economy. Local issues. All more relevant and important to someone not directly affected by one of those wars.

Those wars do affect climate. They do affect global economy.

Imagine thinking a genocide was not relevant to you... "[Country Name] is eradicating [type of people]" requires a level of state power that is globally impactful. The US, for instance, is party to some of these genocides. If you are a US citizen, you are directly affected -- your taxes, your representatives, your opportunity costs, etc. are being used to eradicate [type of people] rather than something beneficial. Same if you are basically anywhere in the world.

You aren't disconnected from those things.

And you're likely bankrolling those things with your taxes.

So yeah, keep yourself and your government accountable.
