3. On top of that I believe major war increases average global temperature because

of all the carbon being burned.

2. K&R

The whole northern end of the US Rockies is in similar situation. The rest of the water flowing to everything west of the Mississippi River, pretty much, comes from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. And that whole area is in big trouble not only due to drought and fires but also massive increase in human population demanding an ever increasing allotment of shares from a fragile and finite resource and its origins.

Many are scared and moving to the region to be first in line for water and everything they say they cherish only to accelerate the decline of the ecosystem. So now locals are saying, "Yep, y'all come on down and we'll get this over with quick and be done with it. Can't stop anyone from coming so..."

It's much a part of the mindset of living on a super volcano that could blow at any time; "When it all gets rolling, I'm just going to drive toward the caldera and be done with it." I've heard it a number of times around that area.

The climate migration is on and those who are rushing to the mountains are heading to and are there now. By the time they figure out what their new environs require from them for symbiotic existence, it's already way past too late.

Our species is in trouble and from our own creation. We really don't deserve to survive given the damage we've done to so many other species on the planet.

5. "You have to learn how to live within your environment".

The Hopi farmer has the right idea, as the Hopi Native Americans have had for thousands of years.

Many Americans try to bend, shape and brutalize nature, to force it to do what they want. That might work temporarily, but in the end nature will always win out. We live with nature, or nature will certainly live without us.
