Starter comment: This NYT Magazine piece, using text and illustrations, explains our possible quasi-apocalyptic, but livable future under 2-3C of warming over the next century, instead of 3-5C. The future will be chaotic, full of shortages, extreme weather events, and vastly different than our present, but humanity will live on in a recognizable sense. It will not be extinction, but evolution of our society. How we get to the next phase of civilization is our choice.
