The future will be much worse. Some effects take years or decades to manifest and we wont see them during a relatively short event like El Niño. Eg: the severe disruption of the jet stream or the collapse of the AMOC. Plus all the long term

I've never heard about writers writing with an audience. A real one at least. Of course there's always an imaginary reader. Performing and writing couldn't be any more different or attract different types of people.
