Did you know that extreme abrupt climate change heat waves are projected to impact more than 3.5 billion people by the end of the 2040s including some which will be unsurvivable without air conditioning or do you get your news from the front pages of profit-maximising newspapers?

I'll add 4 sources here. The most important one is the video abstract of a paper by @EdwardByers , part 2/2. Because only this source shows how important global solidarity today is in alleviating poverty so as to lower the vulnerability in climate

Clip 2/2 of the paper's abstract as video. (Great #scicomm!)
It explains risks and people's vulnerability at 1.5C, 2C and 3C in world regions by 2050. pic.twitter.com/X55YB0hfwu
Or check out IPCC SR15 table 3.4. The figures in millions of people exposed or exposed and vulnerable are for the year 2050 on the respective warming pathways toward 2100. So in all likelihood we're already in for the 2˚ columns.
We can lower the impact only in global solidarity

condensed the figures into 3 stills for their primer on climate impacts, "The hard truths of climate change — by the numbers" https://t.co/qTqBVheHIl
But it doesn't show how global solidarity and alleviating poverty from today onwards can significantly lower vulnerability

Here's an interactive map to explore climate risks and hotspots: https://t.co/mbNk6m21lW
IMO, this info should be on newspapers' frontpage everyday as a constant warning where we're headed if we continue to hope for incremental efficiency improvements to our current system setup
Climate change will affect HUNDREDS of millions with impacts like floods, heatwaves, and drought - these places at risk are aka #HOTSPOTS \U0001f525
