3/🧵2nd risk I see relates to a rapid acceleration of
#GlobalWarming and the
#ClimateCrisis - In this potential risk scenario, melting glaciers and polar ice sheets accelerate
#SeaLevelRise while simultaneously creating flood then drought cycles in geographic regions that depend on glacier melt to annually replenish critical rivers and waterways. Ground water depletion (as is happening in Iran and the
#MiddleEast in general right now) exacerbates the situation and prompts
#WaterWars and mass migrations that strain regional borders and geopolitics. Parts of Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the American South become virtually uninhabitable due to heat-related issues. Agriculture fails and the global food supply is threatened. In another
#Climate related risk scenario, the AMOC overturns - thrusting much of Europe into a mini ice-age, disrupting agriculture, industry and public health.
