I think the Atlantic Ocean conveyor of warm water has already begun to slow, meaning freezing temps for western Europe crops and more ice storms for our north-east, more flash floods for our south-east.

Plant-life and food sources cannot adapt quick enough.

Equatorial latitudes will be uninhabitable due to high wet bulb heat and humidity.

Yeah, it's not looking good.
