It's not too late necessarily to ameliorate I think. Since the powerful are busy finding boltholds for themselves and their families, instead of working on solving the problems for everyone, I think instead you won't have any places left to mail those checks. Unless it's to make reservations at the Sierra Nevada's luxury beach resorts.
Just have to fight my way through the refugee camps to get there. It'll be great. I'll have all kinds of awesome new taxes to pay when I'm still working at 75.
Hey, you and I will both be there in our dotage paying our "fair" share of taxes for all the camps. Just think, what with the famines from climate collapse, we'll both have a chance to have the chic new look of Irish famine victims. Just like my ancestors!
Maybe we can meet up while I'm on the beach reading On the Beach, or lighter reading The March of Folly?
(I think I am getting just a tiny bit darkly fanciful and morbid. Maybe I should rememberize The Widening Gyre?

The warmer climate should actually improve crop yield for a while. If there's a famine, it'll come much later.
