People are already being displaced from their countries by climate. Economies that relied on the stability of their rainfall for their agriculture are declining. They're building camps for them at the border here in the US.

Quite. A trickle of refugees precipitated huge European political convulsions in 2015. That was minuscule compared to what's coming. War is likely to be the leitmotiv of the global collapse.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for stating an obvious fact. Climate change isn't the only factor in central American migration but it's definitely part of the equation.
