	North America. 

[indent][indent][indent]For decades, the continent had seen its fair share of extreme weathers, such as wildfires, floods, and droughts. So when the planet surpassed the tipping point, the full might of climate change came crashing down upon the Gulf Coast of the United States with the world's first Category 6 hurricane. But, it was only the beginning. The drought in the Western and Midwestern United States only worsen to the point that dust storms made a return to the region since the 1991 dust storm in the San Joaquin Valley. Wildfires intensified and brought forth destruction to several communities across the West Coast of North America.

Record-breaking rainfall was also common across the continent, but a number of communities were severely affected. British Columbia suffered the worst as an unprecedented storm brought forth devastating floodings and mudslides (due to the destruction from the wildfires). Highways and roads were washed out as communities were left stranded for days. Metro Vancouver saw its road and rail connections cut off from civilization. And thousands were left displaced as their homes were destroyed by the heavy rains.

Down in the southern part, the increase in temperatures led to both water and food insecurity for people in Mexico. The irrigated lands were proven too difficult to maintain with the constant dust storms and the ongoing water crisis. While the rising sea levels in the Caribbean countries caused thousands of their citizens to be displaced, forcing them to seek better opportunities elsewhere. And in Central America, the climate crisis led to a mass migration unlike anything in recent history with millions seeking refuge up north.[/indent][/indent][/indent]

	South America. 

[indent][indent][indent]The Amazon Rainforest, once considered to be the "lungs of the Earth," was dealt a death blow after the planet surpassed 1.5 degrees. Thanks in part to decades of deforestation (by the logging and cattle industries), the rainforest started its transformation into a savannah. Researchers estimate it would still take decades to take full effect, but the consequences for losing the rainforest were made pretty clear. The loss partially affected the few remaining uncontacted indigenous groups that once lived in the Amazon, who were forced into resguardos (indigenous reserves) by the local governments.

The continent saw a massive reduction in rainfall with the Amazon rainforest deforested. The drought resulted in crop failures and multi-year water shortages across countries. The rising temperatures also melted away the glaciers of the Andes and Patagonia mountains, putting the water supplies in jeopardy for the already drought-stricken communities. That water ended up in the ocean to contribute to the rising sea levels, which affected the entire planet—not just South America. And those weren't the most consequential, and terrifying, outcomes.

It was theorized that the cold waters from both the South Atlantic Ocean and the Humboldt Current (along with wind shears) played a significant part in making tropical storms rare. But, thanks to climate change, researchers found that the continent will experience its first hurricane season in two to four years at best. With so little time to prepare, the infrastructure won't be able to handle its destructive might. And the underprivileged people will be left with nothing to salvage as everything they loved and cherished is torn apart by mother nature.[/indent][/indent][/indent]

	Eurasia.

[indent][indent][indent]The largest continent on Earth dealt with all types of climates from the harshest temperatures to the different precipitations. It also meant that it had to deal with nearly every effect of climate change. For instance, experts are signaling a brutal summer with blistering heat waves and record-breaking temperatures across several regions. Both the Middle East and South Asia, in particular, will experience the worst effects of the approaching summer with more vicious heat waves becoming common within the decade. And in Europe, it's expected that the summer of 2030 will be hotter than the summer of 2003 with Western Europe being affected the hardest. 

Central Europe, the Low Countries, and East Asia already dealt with rising sea levels and destructive flooding for decades. It will only get worst as coastal communities in these regions anticipate routine flooding and further sinking into the sea. Several cities, including Dhaka and Jakarta, have been experiencing this new reality long before the planet surpassed the tipping point; but since then, those cities had record-breaking flooding that left millions displaced and killed thousands. Even cities with flood control methods in place (like Rotterdam and Copenhagen) were unable to prevent damages to infrastructures, property, and agricultural lands. 

Siberia, specifically the Far North, was thought to be a blessing in disguise because of the untapped land beneath the permafrost—perfect for agriculture in a new normal. But, that blessing soon became a curse. Upon inspection of a newly thawed area, the untouched grounds had transformed into swamps, making the affected land largely useless for farmlands. Already existing communities within the region began facing mosquito swarms along with infrastructure failures for the warm climate. And to make matters worst, the melting permafrost is releasing methane, a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon, into the atmosphere and further accelerating climate change.[/indent][/indent][/indent]
