Now what? Well, Western (or "first world") countries won't feel that much impact in the short term. These things take a long time to change. However, vulnerable areas of any country and especially in the developing world will be severely impacted by bad weather, sea level rise, beach erosion, the salting of fresh water sources, crop failures and livestock deaths. I'm not even counting the impact on the natural world, animal and plant life on land and in the seas. So if you are a well-to-do westerner, buckle up for some rough times. Otherwise you're looking at mayhem, death, war and vast numbers of migrants trying to escape the worst places.
