The amount of current warming is causing and will cause further extreme weather disruptions (Flooding, fires, heat, etc) that will destabilise society and lead to a collapse of our modern civilisation.
Society isn't moving fast enough in its reduction of CO2 emissions to keep warming to 1.5ºC.
We are currently on track for warming of 3ºC.
Current warming of 1.2ºC is proving much more dangerous and extreme than imagined.
Crop failure (From heat & drought, and extreme storms and floods) will cause food prices to go up, and famine and hunger, which will lead to civil unrest and migration.
Sea level rise will make many costal cities unliveable and cause migration that will put enormous pressure on the communities receiving refugees.
Forest fires are putting many cities at risk, and causing air quality issues for people across large parts of the world.
More extreme storms (Rain, Wind, Flooding, etc.) will destroy critical infrastructure and make it more and more difficult for society to respond to the crisis.
A 1972 MIT study looked at many of these factors and predicted the collapse of modern society. A recent review of the study suggested all of these factors are on track.
Liberals (democrats) will cause the destruction of the world by causing a greater cataclysmic than the Russian and Chinese when they went to communism because they want communism on a world wide scale. The damage will be catastrophic no matter which side wins, and the re-education camps if the liberals win will be awful.
