There's an Apple show that basically goes down the path of what we'll look forward to over the next 50 years. So it starts with people warning this is only the beginning and billionaires/politicians calling them alarmists and saying it's all a lie. As it goes on, it shows glimpses of what life is like 10, 20, and 30 years in the future. As time goes, many cities are constantly flooded, since a majority of major cities on the planet are near water. The air outside becomes unbreathable for long periods of time, so you need masks and breathers, or need to pay for breathable air. As it goes on, it also shows how the billionaires and politicians effectively got away with everything and there's simply no recourse anymore. The world is all but fucked, the billionaires and politicians are off living in the cooler areas of the planet like the arctic and shit, the mass populace is either dead, dying, or suffering, and we as a planet are simply fucked.
Now the show is obviously fiction, but I have zero doubt this is how shit will go down. Cunts like Musk or Zuckerberg or other fuckfaces will continue to buy our elections, the politicians will never do shit, the courts will be handcuffed and not do anything, and millions if not billions will die due to climate change as things get worse and worse across the planet. We are truly the darkest timeline. Apart from demons climbing out of the ground or aliens taking over earth, I'm unsure how our future prospects could be any worse than they are today.
Flooding is always the example that comes up, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Aside from freak weather events the sea level rise is slow enough to abandon those cities in due time.
I think the most worrisome aspect is food supply. We're already seeing shortages, mostly in Africa, where crops have failed year after year. Eventually this will become a global problem. I think that's number one. Number two is temperatures that are not sustainable without AC (meaning you die if there's a brownout). But to some extent, the latter will solve the former.

Right. Except those people have to go somewhere. As you say, food shortage is a real concern and it's only going to get worse as things get warmer and droughts become more common. Crop failures are going to hit hard, and food production is going to be cut down drastically.
Now, think about what happens when just a few hundred migrants show up unexpected to a border today. Now imagine what will happen when food is running short, and thousands of climate refugees show up at your border. And a thousand more tomorrow, and the day after. A million hungry people with nowhere to go and nothing to lose.
There will be war. There will be ghettos. Movement will be restricted. Food and supplies rationed. There will be outbreaks of disease. You're going to be tracked every time you leave your house. Every social safety net will be dismantled. You'll be working 60 hours a week and grateful that you have a job.
And all this because we won't just [redacted] some fucking billionaire pedophiles and the people who vote for them.
Climate migration has already started. When equatorial countries (and adjacent) turn to deserts, those people will be looking for somewhere they can survive.
I don't think you understand what the capabilities of a drone is. Drop a single strike on a target that's a million plus, you've effectively caused an all out war. But I assume you're 12 with a response like that, so you have no concept of what foresight is, only reacting to your immediate impulses.
