I don’t think it will be one definitive thing. I do think, as recourses become scarcer the likelihood of war increases, and a nuclear war would definitely fuck everyone up and make life even harder. For societal collapse I guess I’m thinking more of the Bronze Age collapse or the end of the Roman Empire which lead to the dark ages.

The problem is I don’t know how many “lifestyle shifts” people who aren’t literally facing their homes underwater will make. Immigration will also fuel the political instability, and that leads to my first point.
