Is climate change the most consequential effect of global warming? What does a 1C increase in temperature on a global / astronomical scale mean in terms of thermodynamics? How do we experience it at human scale?

I have a basic undergraduate understanding of physics (at best), and it seems to me that the planet should be experiencing a significant increase in entropy - meaning that everything (i.e. reality itself) is becoming less predictable — at least in our tiny local neighborhood. Is this interpretation totally wrong?
