The scariest things I foresee for mankind to deal with likely are the winds and the droughts. Strangely enough, the rain and the snows are difficult but are also often a paradox as well. For example, the rains that hit Colorado recently cut off whole towns of people and all the people needed to be evacuated some for 6 months or more until roads are rebuilt into those areas. But the paradox here is that this same water was caught by by dams and lakes will keep the people alive in those areas for the next year too.
So, actually it is the high winds and the long term droughts that are more serious for all life forms throughout the world. Some people are going to survive rains and floods and severe snowstorms which also bring much needed water. However, winds above 100 mph and droughts lasting a year or more are going to cause people and cattle and farm animals and farmers to go bankrupt and to possibly move to another complete area to resettle which might devastate some areas on earth by everyone moving away and leaving some areas of earth basically abandoned.
Then the winds. When you have winds above 100 mph any time of year trees are going to come down. sometimes bushes and houses or parts of houses are going to blow away etc. So, high winds once a year or many times a year will inevitably change life in all areas of the world where this happens.
And as winds and droughts increase together in some areas this means blowing dirt and sand at 100 mph or more which is very difficult to walk through without covering your mouths with cloth or masks and is very difficult even to stand up in let alone to walk in.
