I think the one aspect of climate change that most people don’t realize is that it might hit western countries just as hard as the global south. Most people assume that countries in hotter climates are the ones that will be most severely affected. However, these climates are already at the peak temperature now. The big changes in temperature are happening in cooler climates where temperature is catching up to the global maximum. And since these places have large temperature swings now that creates a recipe for major weather events that are highly destructive.
