    I don't think there will be any single dramatic event that kills millions of people like in a Hollywood disaster movie.

    The biggest danger will probably be the knock on effects: sea level rising, crop failures, mass death of fish and other marine life. All of these things will have cascading economic and politics impacts that are hard to predict.

    Even something that seems minor like sea level rising a couple feet could have dramatic effects in terms of migration, political instability, etc.

    And scientists are projecting that the hardest hit part of the world will be regions that are already vulnerable such as Africa (which also happens to have the largest population growth in the next century).

    • I agree that there won't be a big event like I describe. Just a hypothetical about what it might take to organize humans to actually deal with climate change.nb
    • geo-engeneering should be the answer. they are doing it now. so, its bit convenient to have a disaster so you can round everyone up. elitist wet dream righttharyurimon
