Funny the original headline only cares about the economy not to the fact that us humans can't live at those temperatures.

Because a lot of laws are bound up on economy. Public infrastructure, fiscal responsibility.
The economy will shrink by 100% if world warms by 4°C.
I don't understand where everyone's getting this 4° rise = everyone dead / no more economy / etc? Obviously it would be a fucking disaster, with rising sea levels, devastated biodiversity and general misery, but no source I've seen suggests that "people couldn't survive" or even "society would collapse". It would just be incredibly awful, and lots of people (especially folks in poorer / warmer countries) would die. Has the consensus shifted?
Maybe I'm just taking some hyperbole too seriously? But I don't think it helps matters when people exaggerate the very real dangers of climate change because it just fuels anti-science 'debunkers'.
Oh, I didn't fact check the headline, I merely rephrased it to include OP's correction, yet still somehow make it about the economy. Which conservative newspapers like doing. That was my only point.
I guess you're right, 4°C won't kill everyone. But it sure as hell won't make life easier for us.
I can't beleive i will see the majority of macroscopic life wiped out in my lifetime.
We are allowing the rich to kill all macroscopic life on earth so they can rape children on private islands.
Fucking clown world burn it down
I feel like I'm 40% poorer today compared to 2019 and temperature definitely haven't jumped by 4 degrees.
