If the world is warmed by 4C, we'd be close to mass humans dying
Humans are dying NOW. Heat related deaths are soaring, equatorial regions are close to uninhabitable already. Anyone who can read graphs and plot trajectories can see this is ending badly. The most common phrase from climate scientists lately is "It is happening much faster than expected".
Close to? It's all but a certainty. The global world order we enjoy today would also be as good as gone. We're talking large swathes of the globe being uninhabitable by humans.
