If you're looking to be scared there's better options out there than Global Warming or Climate Change.

• What happens if we hit a climate "tipping point" where feedback loops throw the globe's climate out of stasis and causes the earth's sixth mass extinction? The food chain is complex and interdependent, and we don't know what sort of outcomes would happen if it gets shaken up by climate.
• What happens if climate doesn't have such dire consequences as the above, but climate starts screwing with agriculture such that we can't manage to feed the 9+ billion people expected to be living in 2050? What if we can only feed 6-7B people? What does that do to geopolitics? Will there be war and conflict?  

I personally think the biggest fears from climate change aren't rising sea levels. That's mice nuts in the grand scheme of things.

The biggest fears are twofold:

• What happens if we hit a climate "tipping point" where feedback loops throw the globe's climate out of stasis and causes the earth's sixth mass extinction? The food chain is complex and interdependent, and we don't know what sort of outcomes would happen if it gets shaken up by climate.
• What happens if climate doesn't have such dire consequences as the above, but climate starts screwing with agriculture such that we can't manage to feed the 9+ billion people expected to be living in 2050? What if we can only feed 6-7B people? What does that do to geopolitics? Will there be war and conflict? 

I don't know the likelihood of the above. What I do know is that "worst case scenario" here is FAR worse than most people can or want to imagine.
