I think it’s increasingly likely that technology change will not be fast enough to offset the worst effects of climate change due to the non-linearities in the process, including things like vicious cycles (melting permafrost causing massive methane leaks) and tipping points.

I also don’t think most people anticipate the political instability that will result from hundreds of millions of people needing to move.
