"Due to" means "because of". "Due" has two senses, first is "owed" or "deserve", and second is "it is time for". So in this sentence it means sort of a mix of the two, something like "It's been long enough and we deserve a reckoning"

it basically means that consequences are coming.   

It means that the chickens are coming home to roost! That's a nice idiom, meaning that past transgressions will eventually catch up with you. The sense used in that sub-headline is similar to many stories about climate-change - an issue that has been sadly neglected or brushed over for years, and inevitably will have severe consequences now. "We are due" - we deserve, we should expect "a reckoning" - the outcome of our previous actions will, in the fullness of time, have consequences (which are likely to be detrimental). It'll all come out in the wash.
