I agree with that sentiment a bit though. It’s going to cause huge losses and deaths will add up over time, but no single event will “break” the system. More worried about another pandemic, some sort of catastrophic power failure or war which all have the ability to end society as we know it.  Previous Message it is real and an increasing problem to be sure. but in the list of society's problems to be worried about, it should rank in the 100s. will not come close to impacting us in any meaningful way for a long, long time.
