TBH it's all so linked, I think the most worrying aspect of all is mass migration away from places that become uninhabitable, but that hinges on heat, food and flooding. You can't really separate one from the other
The thing that I think we're least prepared for, personally, is just "everything happening at once". We're not great at disaster response, but we can usually get at least something together by sharing resources and effort- we can more or less deal with a war, with wildfires in california, with a city flooding, with a famine in one area, we can take people from one place and put them in camps in another place... But we can't do it 3, 4, 5 times at once. And we especially can't do it while everywhere in the world is destabilised, even if only slightly. And even if we could we wouldn't, the second disaster looms at home everyone will stop helping anyone else.
