The world is currently on track for 2.7 degrees of warming. Of all the consequences this is still one of the most mind-boggling ones — and yet surprisingly little talked about: It would mean that 2 billion people — a quarter of the entire population of the planet — will soon experience average annual temperatures above 29 degrees celsius, a level at which very few communities have lived in the past. That means a lot of suffering, and migration like we’ve never seen before.
