The Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia are set to become 'so hot that human habitability is compromised' at 1.5°C - 2°C of global warming, between 2024 and 2036.
Unsurvivable humid heatwaves will soon hit regions where billions of people live today.mpg.de/10481936/clima…

We were on track for 2°C by 2036 back in 2014.
Five and a half years later, and things are now even worse: emissions are *accelerating* and there's no sign of them decreasing anytime soon.
We're going to smash past 2°C in about 15 years time.

Unsurvivable heat sooner than expected:
'The limit of survivability, at 35C WBT, was almost reached in Bandar Mahshahr in Iran in July 2015, where 46C heat combined with 50% humidity. “This suggests the threshold may be breached sooner than projected".' theguardian.com/environment/20…

Slashing emissions to zero in the 2020s is vital, but it seems that even this wouldn't be enough to prevent unsurvivable humid heatwaves within decades.

'There is still time to avert such severe warming if measures are implemented now'.
Two years later, emissions are accelerating.
“With mitigation, we hope we will be able to avoid these severe projections"
But many, many scientists see 2°C is inevitable.news.mit.edu/2017/deadly-he…

Cities in the Tropics are set to become close to uninhabitable over the next 10 years just from heat. Many of these cities will also have to cope with extraordinarily destructive sea level rise, extreme flooding and massive unprecedented storms.
The planet is undergoing one of the largest climate changes in the past 65 million years, set to occur at a rate 10 times faster than any change in that period. Without intervention, this extreme pace could lead to an unsurvivable 5-6°C temperature spike.
Unbearable heat levels combined with sea level rise will make currently inhabited regions increasingly difficult and perhaps impossible to live in.
Crop failure is another factor acknowledged in the articles in this thread.

If we don't stop emissions virtually completely in the next 10 years then we will probably be heading for a desert planet and billions dead by between 2045 and 2075. That's my reading of the science, not everyone would agree.
Huge risk.
