I should’ve been more specific. Crop failures where middle class Americans start to starve. Society is nine meals away from revolution. Keep a close eye on US grain reserves and other ag indicators.

I agree with your points that crops are already failing. It just hasn’t impact the first world middle class yet.

I disagree. Most of America is already onboard; it's just being held back from progress by its non democratic systems, a minority that clings to power, and power systems that can spend unbounded amounts of money for short term profits.
Can you show evidence that a majority is onboard? People are still using petroleum like it’s going out of style, and no one wants a carbon tax.
If those Democratic systems worked we'd have had Gore in 2000 and a different world.
