Local tempature variation is just one of the threats. If you want a fairly serious organization's take on what the major threats are here is the DoD:

) Persistently recurring conditions such as flooding, drought, and higher temperatures

) More frequent and/or more severe extreme weather events

) Sea level rise and temperature changes

) Decreases in Arctic ice cover, type, and thickness

One thing that short 2015 report does not cover is reduction in crop yields that frequently lead to conflict.
