Things are going to get very inconvenient. Human kind is completely extinct between +2 and 3 C. Don’t get confused. This doesn’t mean that at, say, midnight on the +exact day temps hit + 2.1 C everyone suddenly falls over dead. Washington’s and the western Rich’s Genocide by biosphere death will - and is already - rolling out as time progresses. There will be jumps as well as as a steadily increasing baseline of deaths.

"“It’s unusual to see so many quite extreme marine heatwaves all at the same time,” said Sen Gupta.
While marine heatwaves can be driven by local weather conditions, studies have shown they have increased in frequency and intensity as the oceans have warmed – a trend forecast to worsen with human-caused global heating.

Hotter oceans provide more energy for storms, as well as putting ice sheets at risk and pushing up global sea levels, caused by salt water expanding as it warms.
Marine heatwaves can also have devastating effects on marine wildlife and cause coral bleaching on tropical reefs. Experiments…

…Prof Dietmar Dommenget, a climate scientist and modeller at Monash University, said the signal of human-caused global heating was much clearer in the oceans.
“Obviously we’re in a fast-warming climate and we’re going to see new records all the time. A lot of our forecasts are predicting an El Niño.
“If this happens, we’ll see new records not just in the ocean but on land. This data is already suggesting we’re seeing a record and there could be more coming later this year.”

“New technique maps large-scale impacts of fire-induced permafrost thaw in Alaska”
“Northern Alaska has 20% of permanent clay, containing a lot of greenhouse gases, including salt, since it was announced in 2016 (Link; 2 trillion carbon, methane https://phys.org/news/2016-10-permafrost-regions-vulnerable-carbon.html ) in inner Alaska, approximately 4 percent is permanent clay, fires have changed ecosystems, and has not progressed! The goal of stopping deforestation by 2030 is a must for arson! Alaska in recent years with a lot of fire pollen from Siberia. Badman's New Year Yoshio Nishioka /HUTAN Group
About 40% of inland Alaska lies beneath rock-rich permanent clay (permanent clay consisting of soil, gravel, and sand). Tundra wildfires, which severely impact perennial soil erosion, have intensified due to specific conditions such as climate warming.
Ground vegetation plays a dominant role in protecting perennial soil from the summer heat, so when vegetation structure changes, especially after severe wildfires, there is a possibility of subterranean down misconceptions.
Severe wildfires remove vegetation and surface organic soil, and the loss of this insulation increases geothermal flow and promotes perennial soil erosion. This erosion causes the development of underground and thermoculst (the ground surface collapse due to permanent soil erosion), which causes surface water flooding, changes in vegetation, changes in soil carbon balance, carbon emissions, and all affecting climate warming.
Permanent clay—fire—climate systems have been under research for decades, and the vast impact these wildfires have on changing land damage, post-fire resilience, and subsequent snow melting settlements remain unclear. Since fine perennial clays often lack reference frames to compare with broad geological changes, it is difficult to measure erosion.
Researchers from Florida Atlantic University systematically analyzed the impact of six large fires in Tanana Plains in Inner Alaska, in collaboration with the U.S. Navy Cold Regional Research and Engineering Laboratory and Alaska Ecoscience.
