Not many. We’ve consistently overshoot worst case predictions.

Many of the heat waves, hurricanes and first fires we’ve seen weren’t predicted to occur until 2030s.

People in North America and Europe of course enjoy the best climate and see the effects the slowest from climate change.

One way to accurately judge climate change is to count the number and frequency of extreme events. How many 100 year weather events have you seen? How many 500 or 1000 year weather events have you seen? How many once in human history, like the drought in China have you lived through?

The fact that North America and Europe enjoy the best climate is predicated on the Gulf Stream and the Jet Stream. Given that climate change may destabilize both, both Europe and North America may experience the effects from climate change very quickly.
