At this rate we're probably only a year or two away from seeing an area in the world head into the 50°C+ range and kill everyone who can't get into air conditioning.
Soon we will be telling next gen peeps (mutant descendants) how 'back in our day' we could walk outside, not pay a daily air allowance to the regional megacorp, and even see animals and plants irl.
But at least Soylent Green will be available in several flavors so that is something to look forward to ...
Yep. It's going to get worse before it gets better regardless now.
Realistically given our trajectory it probably won't get better again until long after we go extinct
We won't go extinct, but we could suffer civilization collapse and billions could die. The survivors would live in the ruins of the planet for basically ever because it could take so long to recover humans aren't humans by then.
