What do you base these predictions on? Tarot cards, astrology, i-Ching, tealeaves? Or are you just following the modern Nostrodamus, Craig Hamilton-Parker?
The fact that it's already happening? Heat stress in many countries is already a thing. The Indian 2024 heatwave was already the worse on record, and likely killed tens of thousands of people, maybe hundreds of thousands across the entire country, especially if you count the secondary effects from heat related complications. Heat waves shut down schools and business across SEA, Africa and south asia, I nearly got heat exhaustion myself last year from a tiny amount of physical activity out in the mid-day sun. The Philippines were getting hit by a Super typhoon every 2 weeks during the last 2 months of the typhoon season. A decent chunk of LA literally just burned down. It's just a natural continuation of the trends that we're already seeing. The only really outlandish predictions is the mass crop heat death, and the amount of people I think will die in South Asia from heatstroke. I guess we'll see by the end of the year just how right I am.

Yes that is an extreme prediction for just one year. But 2 degrees by 2050 is an optimistic scenario IMO and in accumulated energy equivalency theoretically would be like exploding six 50 megaton tsar bombas every single day non stop till 2050 or a Krakatoa every 16 hours. That is a lot of disposable energy for dynamic systems like weather phenomena, for example CAT 4 and 5 hurricanes from my POV looks like are becoming the norm, IDK maybe I am bias seeing that trend.
