What's happening definitely makes me nervous, but "at best a WW3-event and at worst an extinction-event" seems a bit much. Mainly because there are a _lot_ of unknowns. Better try to get comfortable with just riding this out.
It really isn't. Climate change is going to make large amounts of land unlivable. That's going to cause a climate refugee crisis. I agree the effects of that refugee crisis are unknown, but I can't see any resolution that doesn't involve increased nationalism, civil wars, and violent resource conflicts. Given this is a global crisis, that's a recipe for WW3.
This was all avoidable, of course. But instead of fixing it, we spent decades fiddling around with toys like LLMs. Whee.
