That's very helpful, thanks. It sounds like the implication is that the earth has already left the stable equilibrium of the holocene and has now entered chaotic-behavior territory. This squares with a lot of the other climate science I've read (eg. 1.5C being the boundary and us going past it, my wife's climate-change focused employer shifting the focus from mitigation to resilience, or just private chats with climate scientists where they admit that yes, we're past the point of no return) and geologists now saying we're in the anthropocene era. I'm not entirely sure I'd classify this as being "very bad for humans" though. It does mean that our assumptions about very basic things like "Can humans live in this part of earth?" may not be valid. But humanity (and life) in general has proven to be very resilient. It's probably bad news for a significant number of specific humans, and very bad news for the social systems that currently bind us, but it seems likely that some form of descendant from humanity will survive.
