Most of the public seems unaware that global temperatures will soon push past the target to which the U.N. hoped to limit warming, but researchers see social and psychological crises brewing.
As one expert said on National Geographic’s “Deep Sea Disaster” climate change crisis speculative episode, “Nature will squeeze us into pockets of instability and then kill us”. Coastal cities will go underwater, storms will destroy other coastal cities, which means less land to inhabit. A catastrophic reduction of land/real estate and droughts killing crops will lead to skyrocketing tribalism - a perfect breeding ground for authoritarianism. An endgame scenario leading to a “Panem” is not out of the question.
