Surviving in the remaining habitable regions. Recent signs we have past the tipping point:
Ocean surface temps are many std dev outside the average and not showing cyclical temps
Atlantic ocean temps off the chart setting up for anticipation of worst hurricane season in history
122F in Delhi yesterday
AMOC is collapsing
Early and off the chart storm season in midwest
2 feet of hail from hail storms in Mexico during a heat wave
Flooding in South America and US
Early forest fires in BC
Venezuala is first country of the Americas to lose all its glaciers
Global coral bleaching event this spring
Sea water penetration of Thwaits Glacier; collapse is imminent
Howler monkeys in Mexico and Central America falling dead out of the trees from heat
Bananas rotting on trees before they are ripe

We will see massive heat deaths this year in India, Africa and Central America as these regions lack the infrastructure to provide habitable cooling to their population.

We will probably also see a large increase in crop failures globally this year.
