    Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen human extinction floated as a likely outcome, but food and water shortages could lead to deaths in the millions, which I can’t even comprehend at the moment

      Forget millions, and try billions.

      Many people that live within the tropic zones could die if they aren’t able to migrate out of those zones. Because of that, we will have a refugee crisis much larger than the world has ever seen, and if previous much smaller refugee crises are any model, countries in the temperate zones will not welcome the refugees with open arms.
