Climate change events cascade rapidly;
Last year, the Siberian Forest fires led to intense heat in the permafrost, melting it for the foreseeable future, reduce cold heat sink.
Flooding last year (and this year) in Europe and the US will lead to rebuilding, which requires energy and supplies;
This year the Canadian forest fires will increase the temperatures and particulate in North America and likely the arctic cirle.
Then the Gulf of Mexico (and Atlantic) are hotter and more acidic than in recorded history; coordinated with less air movement from the jet stream. Which is likely to lead to more hurricanes, which will have increased energy expenditures to rebuild.
Climate change isn't linear; it's exponential.
