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.

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

Yes, many South Pacific nations will be gone by then due to sea level rising.
