Climate changes isn’t just about world getting warmer ffs.
Clearly u need to read a lot more about it …..
It means it will as a WHOLE be higher .
That means increases in volatile conditions and natural disaster in different areas.
Higher heat waves, colder heat waves , increases in frequency and strength of tornado , hurricane and tropical storm ,etc.
You have a denial discourse dating end of the 1990s on the implications of climate changes risk and that is if we are lucky to limit at 2 degrees which we already going to probably exceed at this rate….

If the Earth warms 2.7 degrees Celsius, India, Nigeria, Indonesia, the Philippines and Pakistan would be the top five countries with the most population exposed to dangerous heat levels, the study found.
The entire population of some countries, such as Burkina Faso and Mali, as well as small islands already at risk from rising sea levels, would face unprecedented high temperatures.
In the worst case scenarios, if the Earth warms up by 3.6 or even 4.4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, half of the world’s population would be outside the climate niche, constituting what the report calls “an existential risk.”
The last eight years have been the warmest on record.
According to the report, living outside the niche could lead to increased mortality rates, as exposure to temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius could be lethal, especially if humidity is so high the body can no longer cool itself to a temperature that can maintain normal functions.
Extreme heat is also predicted to decrease crop yields, and increase conflict and the spread of disease.
Scientists have long warned that warming beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius would result in catastrophic and potentially irreversible changes. As the areas within the climate niche shrink as global temperatures rise, a larger swath of the population will also be more frequently exposed to extreme weather events including droughts, storms, wildfires and heatwaves.
Experts say there is still time to slow the pace of global warming by moving away from burning oil, coal and gas and toward clean energy, but the window is closing.
Every fraction of a degree will make a difference, Lenton said. “For every 0.1 degrees Celsius of warming above present levels, about 140 million more people will be exposed to dangerous heat.”
We are not even talking massive social and economic problem this will entice .
Keep leaving in your “italian bubble” and drill and burn all we can find !
