Increased drought in some areas, increased flooding in others. Deadly heatwaves. Ocean acidification. Stronger hurricanes. More earthquakes, disappearing of glaciers that supply fresh water, mass biodiversity die-off, massive wildfires. Those are just the most obvious effects. All these increase in severity, frequency, and size as warming increases.

And that doesn’t even get into the non-direct effects on humans; droughts or flooding lead to famine, mass displacement, rise in climate refugees, geopolitical conflict, more volatile supply of fresh water...I could go on and on.

We’ve only warmed by an average of ~1.1C so far and the amount of weather disasters has increased five-fold in that same time period. We’re reaching the point many people are still dealing with a past weather disaster when they get hit by another. Think about that - in a growing number of places, weather disasters are happening so frequently that there is no time to rebuild from the previous disasters, let alone prepare for future ones. And this is only at 1.1C of warming. Under conservative estimates we’ll reach 2.5C within a human lifetime.

Looks like your fishing expedition didn't work out, next time use better bait.

You have probably heard of staying under the 2C goal.

At 2C the warming feedback loop is self sustaining and will grow to 8 or 10C. At 2C, the permafrost melts, a LOT of methane is released. The oceans turn acidic and with a higher temperature can no longer support the algae that supplies most of the oxygen on the planet. By that point most of the planet will already be a desert because the majority of plant life and animal life cannot survive routine 130 or 140 degree temperatures.

Good luck surviving without plants, animals, or oxygen.
