I'm already trying to imagine how society will adapt with climate change. I see mostly rich people shielding themselves from the hot climate in developed countries and feeding themselves.
Meanwhile, other countries are going to be left to die or left to generalized social unrest, drought and hunger. Massive migrations with a massive security apparatus. I'm guessing human population will fall below two billion or less before 2080 or before, until we can build a green industry while protecting people from this new climate.
I don't think it will be a "collapse" like it's often talked about by the collapse movement, but it will be a slow disaster, which will be much more "tolerable" and avoid dangerous, unstable crises or large conflicts. Intelligence agencies are going to carefully plan all of this.
Hawks are going to say "it won't be so bad" and that "only the fittest shall survive". It won't be very civilized, but individualism will go away and be replaced by communities who focus on survival at the expense of outgroups. It will probably look like dystopian movies, minus the glory, the heroes and the adventure.
