Higher average temperatures are leading to changes in rainfall patterns. Some regions see more torrential rain while others see aridification. Increased rainfall means regions that previously saw floods once a century will see them once a decade. Similarly regions facing aridification will see more and longer heat waves and less water availability. While those situations are survivable they're destructive and thus expensive. Even if no one died during such events they will still cause significant economic impact. People can't just pack up and migrate en mass to avoid flood zones or arid regions. Changes in rainfall also affect farming. A region with good soil may need increased irrigation to deal with aridification. Irrigation has its own set of problems it introduces even if there's some ready source of water to feed into the irrigation system. Even small increases in temperature also affect atmospheric and oceanic conveyors. Even single degree increases can change the thermal gradients enough to break them down for portions of the year. If money was infinite and humans acted without prejudice a lot of coming environmental issues would have some technological mitigation. Neither of those things are true so conditions in some places are going to get very bad.
