• his could make significant parts of the planet uninhabitable (at least outdoors, or without air conditioning) for significant portions of the year.
• f there were 12°C of warming, a majority of land where humans currently live would be too hot for humans to survive at least a few days a year.16 An increase of 13°C would make working outdoors impossible for most of the year in the tropics, and around half the year in currently temperate regions
• Climate change makes people feel angry, powerless, and — above all — afraid.5 If society doesn’t act more decisively, climate change will affect all our lives and gravely damage livelihoods around the world.
• Moreover, it would be hard for this to lead directly to extinction even if we didn’t adapt, given that a large chunk of land on Earth would remain habitable, even with 13°C of warming. We would have to live in a much smaller area, but civilisation would survive.
