So is everything fine until Earth becomes Venus?
A decent chunk of the Earth's landmass (where a TON of people currently live) is going to get pretty bad if temperatures rise 3C.
At 35C in India - it's believed even healthy young people can die in just 6 hours of exposure.
This will happen regularly if temperatures rise 3C.
India will be home to maybe 2B in 2050 - when many climate projections say this will happen.
I'm optimistic we won't reach 3C of warming by 2050. But it seems within reason that it could happen.

Yet people somehow still survive in the Sahara at higher temperatures. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth
