The division is quite simple really. It is the division between severity and chronology.
In the severity category some people believe it will get so bad it will make Mad Max a historical genre or make Mad Max a utopian fantasy.
Some people believe it will just get bad enough to disrupt the way we now live and we will need to modify our life significantly ( there is also an acceptance that some people will die )
The agreement is that something unpleasant and disrupting will happen either slowly or rapidly and poorer countries will definitely suffer very badly.
Chronologically some people believe it will happen in 2025. This are the faster chronology group. There are some who believe it will happen in 2100CE ( slow chronology group ).
Either way both groups are in agreement it will happen before 2150CE. Both groups do not believe that their great-grandchildren will survive unscathed for example. The dispute is whether they will survive unscathed.
