5C of warming by 2100, due to better modeling of clouds in a warming world. And those models don't even take into account non-linear positive feedbacks like thawing permafrost or burning forests.

I've effectively become a liberal version of a doomsday prepper thanks to climate change and the future my 9 yr old daughter gets to inherit. I always shit-talked my ancestors for settling in the frozen woods of Minnesota, but now I'm thanking them knowing our area will likely be a climate refuge compared to the coasts or deserts.
