Climate change is no joke and humanity will have to adapt to it, but we can lessen its impact by significantly reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. See honest thoughts from a climate scientist on what it means to exceed the 1.5°C global warming target. Also see a 2023 Ontario report that was kept quiet for eight months for more information relevant to Ontario.

"Sustainable development" and net zero by 2050 still sees on average 3x increase in 35+ humidex days. And thats an incredibly optimistic goal given our current timeline. Its also a double edged sword as heat increases our energy demand will increase, not just for ac but also refrigeration units may have to work harder.

It's also optimistic given the rightward swing of politics in so many places across the globe.
