While Baja and Southern California receive torrential rain, a 100 year drought snarls traffic, with 200 cargo ships waiting to pass, through the Panama Canal because there’s not enough fresh water to fill the channel from freshwater lakes.

This will not happen until/unless the very wealthy feel threatened. Right now the world's wealthiest people are feeling quite safe and insulated from all the bad climate effects
I imagine that Climate Change COULD result in more earthquakes, with water migrating from glaciers to the oceans and the stresses from the weight change.
The there was an earthquake.
The totality of subsidies (including non-climate-damage costs pushed onto society) exceeds:
...
...
$4 TRILLION per year
...
So the fossil fuel industry would be losing ~$3T / year if all costs were accounted for.
So:
1. They're not going to give up without a fight and / more
2/ when, finally, fossil fuel industries are dying (soon) more than $3T / year of the global economy will be released for more beneficial uses.
Just think of what $3T / year can do.
(Happy to provide sources for folks interested; seeking fellow travelers to help make this case more evident.)
Been saying this since the late 80's. Even have ideas that could change things quickly without costing us more or requiring other sources of energy.
Hasnt gotten me anywhere except without friends.
There is only so much water available in the Gatun Lake water system, yet Panama increased water requirements by building additional locks. This was pretty much an inevitable result of expanding capacity.
Sadly there's still a lot of person (even educated) who don't believe in climate change. Even in France I've just discussed with someone trying to explain to me that it's a hoax (and he's an engineer though).
