To a certain extent, the stuff has ALREADY hit the fan. The Gulf was at record temperatures recently and supercharged hurricane IAN. Many people died and monetary losses were at a record high. Property taxes have doubled in the last few years in Florida. When people go to the state park north of Key West to snorkel dive in shallow water, they will find less living Coral on the reefs. The Mississippi River is in a near-record drought and will raise the cost of many items including food for US citizens and will increase food insecurity at countries beyond the US borders.
And I have probably NOT thought of every problem!
