Is it a virus, is it a dictatorship, is it ww3? Pick a lane, apocalypse!

Due to climate change, we’ll probably get all three at the same time. People misunderstand “climate change.” They think it means a thunderstorm or a fire or something will kill them.
But what will kill them (more likely, their kids and grandkids) is the wars and fascist movements that arise from climate-change-induced crop failures, uncontrolled and uncontrollable migration, and water shortages.
People have an absolutely shit understanding of systems and how they work together, and how they fail.
