- 70 to 90% of coral reefs dying, devastation of maritime ecosystems

- potential collapse of maritime currents that lead to relatively mild climates in Britain

- triggering of multiple irreversible climate tipping points (arctic ice sheet)

- more common and much more devastating extreme weather events (warmer air can carry more water)

- the aforementioned weather results in infrastructure damage and lack of food within big parts of the world. Waves of migration

- median sea level rise of more than a meter means extremes will be much higher, a big part of the human population lives next to the sea

And much more — this was the absolute minimum and we surpassed it faster than expected.
