This is the result of a 2 degree temperature rise.
A world that's warmed by 2°C would have many far-reaching and irreversible consequences, including:
Extreme weather
More frequent and intense extreme weather events, including heat waves, would affect a large portion of the population.
Sea level rise
More than 70% of Earth's coastlines would see sea-level rise greater than 0.66 feet (0.2 meters), leading to:
Coastal flooding
Beach erosion
Salinization of water supplies
Ecosystem impacts
The planet could reach irreversible tipping points, such as the collapse of the polar ice sheets and the mass death of coral reefs.
Other impacts
Other impacts include:
Crop failure
Disease
Limited water
Wildfires
Harm to animal and plant life
Social and economic instability
Tropical storms
Category 4 and 5 tropical storms would become more common on an annual basis.
Threatened life on Earth
A third of all life on Earth could be threatened with extinction.
