Remember that far as we're aware of a runaway greenhouse effect is unlikely to happen on earth. Latest, most pessimistic calculations show that we'd need 10x more carbon than what we're able to produce despite melting ice caps, methane release from permafrost, and all estimated fossil fuels we have. Now whether the massive wildfires, waning vegetation and dying plankton due to ocean acidification is counted into this - or if it even can, or if there are too many variables to produce an accurate estimate -, is one thing. But we're still talking 50-100+ years at the current rate of co2 production before dramatic, cataclysmic effects occur.
The geopolitical instabilities are another thing of course. Climate change WILL in our lifetimes create an absolutely massive pressure for mass immigration. Billions of people will be forced to move away from the heat, drought and famine. And the west isn't built to handle a fraction of that. This will create massive scale armed conflicts and cold shrewd policies throughout the world, which will greatly affect domestic affairs as well. We are looking at war, we are looking at basic human rights being put through the grinder. And with the corporations already hogging political power unlike ever before, many individuals will be fucked, on the street, in prisons, or executed.
But if you live in the west, nevermind in some milder climate like Canada, northern US, or northern Europe, your problem will not be the climate change. It will be the political changes and global destability in general. Our children or grandchildren then? That's another story entirely.
