Adam, I like the way you have described the interlocking factors that lead to an unequal distribution of collapse, both in magnitude and physical location. What you describe is logical and follows from known experience based on history and relatable projections. But what I find to be most worrying about our current climate crisis is the unprecedented situations (in human experience) that are developing globally and across multiple vectors. For example, a rapidly rising mean average global temperature, glaciers melting, drought in some places, and flooding in other areas. Plus there is more heat-related energy in the atmosphere to drive massive storms across wide areas of the Earth. There is also the matter of timelines, as in “how fast will CO2 levels rise along with the mean average global temperature?” It is argued that the current climate models use outdated and conservative assumptions to make predictions about the rise in CO2 and when tipping points into unprecedented climate conditions will occur. It seems very likely that we do not have the rest of this century to get our act together in order to save ourselves from fossil-fuel stupidity and the unsustainable philosophy of continuous economic growth. If the timeline is as short as five to eight years before we hit the point of accelerating climate disaster, then collapse of all of our integrated and complex systems that support modern life will occur so convulsively that the differences in where and how the pieces fall will matter very little to the survivors who are left scrambling to carry on.
