Fighting is what humans do best, especially humans in a military. According to renowned writer and synthesizer Lester Brown, water wars are currently disguised as wars over grains. Constantly seeking new reasons to engage in military actions, I've no doubt we’ll find more reasons to fight.
If the Pacific Decadal Oscillation has been ‘stuck’ in the negative, dry phase since the 1990s, what happens when it comes unstuck and switches back to the positive phase?
I would posit that it probably isn't going to 'switch back', like the Amazon Rainforest is heading to be a savannah, not a rain forest for much longer.
I doubt anyone knows for sure. I suspect the ensuing rapid rate of environmental change will contribute to—and not in a good way—the ongoing Mass Extinction Event.
How long before 'Water wars' break out over the declining “American Nile,”?
Something else to fight over.

I was just thinking that if it does, it would probably be catastrophic flooding from atmospheric rivers.
I suspect we’ll see all of the above: flooding, dehydration, and other means of losing habitat. I doubt we see favorable outcomes here and elsewhere.
No disagreement here.
