The IPCC’s worst and probably most likely increase in temperature is between 2.5 and 3.7 °C, now revised to 13.2 °C based on a recent report published in Nature. This will be bad, and will cause a mass displacement of people. The extremes in temperature / climate swings will be at the high latitudes in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, so temperatures over 50 °C in Europe and maybe even in Northern Europe will become common.
Temperatures have already exceeded 50 °C in British Columbia and as far south as Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It is going to get hotter—a great deal hotter. In report published in Nature Communications estimates the temperature increase will be more than double, so this means temperatures will likely increase to over 60 °C +. Even if it is just one day a year, this is not survivable.
The tropical region, especially +/- 5 deg on either side of the equator, is currently the hottest region on average. However, it does not experience the same massive shifts in temperature, so the tropics will become the only location, and maybe the extreme North and South, where it is possible to survive.
We are now too late to stop climate change if we consider the only cause is carbon dioxide. At GOES, we believe that bioclimatic factors are actually much more important, and they offer a possible solution to dampen the impact of climate change and maybe even reverse the process.
