I think it's also important to emphasize that it's not absolute effects (for day-to-day impacts) but rather society's inability to adapt to the change quickly enough to mitigate the impact. A simple example is farms having to move location or change crops because local climate decreases yields enough to affect price.

Exactly right, the baseline GMST (global mean surface temperature of the earth) is higher, but so too is the amplitude around the mean Warm air contains more moisture, so we have the double whammy of a more energetic atmosphere (heat is just the kinetic energy of air molecules) and more water suspended above our heads

i thought the current term was āclimate crisisā to instill a sense of urgency and danger but volatility or turbulence may be better words as you point out language always matters
