I'm thinking my post-apocalyptic battle wagon should have swangaz with whirling knives sticking out from the hub caps.

Acapulco.

extreme weather will hit more and more often, in more places,
and hitting both coastal and inland communities over and over again,
costing more and more money and resources
until infrastructure, supply chains, economies, banks, governments, societies break down
and rebuilding and living becomes more and more grim and difficult and eventually impossible.
cushy lifestyles and complex luxuries will for a short while remain accessible to the billionaires
until we finish guillotining them.

eventually we'll all fade out completely,

but first our children will get to enjoy a maybe another century or two
of violent, basic, simple hardscrabble type lives,
trying to pry any form of sustenance out of the dead broken and depleted planet
stripped of all natural beauty.
in the shadows of ruined, dark, radioactive and flooded cities
with dried-up aquifers, utterly empty and lifeless oceans and endless raging storms.

there will be guns and warlords and racism and injustice and persecution of minorities and refugees until our very last days.

even as our numbers dwindle, we'll use the might of our accursed cleverness and tools in burning and eating everything that can be consumed.

the man-caused extinction event will be so comprehensively thorough,
that probably only descendants from hardy reeds and shrubs, cockroaches and rats will remain to regenerate the biosphere.
It will take millions and millions of years for beauty and balance to return.
