RE: Time is running out
"Overheat" not.
But at around 2 degrees a lot of "kickback" mechanisms come into play. Meaning the heating will go on until e.g. 6 degrees, and that is of course the average.
More and more severe storms and draughts. Water levels rising for dozens of meters...
One such a chain is: Sun-reflecting ice on the poles melts, which results in more heat. It also reduces the polar water cycling which may stop global water cycling, huge amounts of fishes may die out, ecosystems collapse...
Such things.
I don't think that the temperature increase is that fatal in an out of itself for us humans but the water level increase and the polar melting is BAD, REALLY bad. Well, let's hope that either the major governments decide to do something about it or that at least we'll enjoy enough of what time is left :(
The temperature itself is not so bad?
Just a few thousand more heat death per year, worse harvests, more damage through weather (like hurricanes).
