I think forest fires and floods will be the lesser wake up calls.
Major food shortages following massive crop failures and wars over food might be closer than we realise.

Yes, of course you're right - but we shouldn't frighten the horses too much. People are unlikely to accept the full horror that faces them.
Meanwhile I think this is an interesting comparison:

The Roman climate problem was tiny compared with ours, but it was evidently a factor. I am impressed by the similarity with poor constitutional arrangements which allowed things to deteriorate faster than they need have done. It's clear to me that the constitution in Britain and in the USA is no longer really 'fit for purpose'.

This morning's Daily Mail thinks Prince Andrew's affairs are more important than the impending doom of the human race - at least so far as I can see on line without giving them any money.
Although The Guardian is doing a sterling job reporting the crisis, it's sad that it is only read by the converted.
Presumably there will be many surprised citizens when Epping Forest burns down followed by flooding of the London underground.
