Hot. Heat waves. Forest fires. Sea level rising. Floods. Droughts. Water shortages. Extinction of various animals and plants. Collapse of supply chains and resource shortages. Rising nationalism and distrust. Mass migration, mass starvation, mass casualty events.

I think OP asked for 100 tears into the future, not today.

They did, but writing "the same as now, but worse", would‘ve been a bit boring.
