Can someone explain in simple terms what this means? Like what is happening (like am 5) and what are the consequences of this.

You get unreliable weather patterns . monsoon in dry places, and monsoon dependent countries falling dry..

And thus unreliable investment, a house or factory might be flood prone in a dessert valley, a dam with power stations might fail to provide.

So you have uninsureable riches, that might aswell no longer be there.

And as a consequence, massive migration from inhabitable regions. Hard to imagine the implication when there are billions of people affected

Climate migration from South and Central America to North America has already started. If the US think they have an immigration problem right now, I can’t imagine how vicious immigration propaganda is going to get when that number goes up by an order of magnitude.
