I think you've got everyone's popular conception which is that the earth is going to fuck up in the next five years, which isn't true, and then there's what scientists are saying which is that things are going to be pretty fucked in like a hundred years. This is just assuming everything stays the same and we don't figure out new ways to combat changes. I think things won't be as bad as they think, but they won't be super great, and it won't be nearly as dire as you've been told by random people online who are hoping like hell that they'll get to scratch that eschatological itch that the turn of the century denied us.
im in california. the whole fucking state is on fire literally every year. this did not used to be a thing. things are fucked now. not IN five years; five years AGO.
I know this is going to sound like an excuse, but California used to not keep track of fires until after 2000. It's a desert with forests, and it's SUPPOSED to be on fire every year. I'm not saying it's not getting worse or more frequent or anything, but there's factors at play that make it sound newer or worse than it is.
lived here all my life. it's always been fire country, fires were always a 'thing', but it wasn't an annual state of emergency. the refugees didn't seriously change the housing market.

Probably the wealthy, especially in western countries, will barely notice. Already, it’s disproportionately affecting those in impoverished nations.

it is not up in the air. we know damn well how people will react, especially the americans, the russians, and mainland china.
