What are your three biggest fears?

In all seriousness though, basically this:

Sea level rise is already not a question of if but when and how much.

We're seeing evidence now that ocean temperature increase is accelerating, and ocean current patterns which have been stable for the entirety of recorded human history are collapsing. There have been several extreme heat events around the globe this year.

So I guess my fear is that I'll live to see everything descend into bloody, desperate chaos when all the infrastructure we've built fails, and food and water scarcity become a daily concern for the entire population.
