floods, droughts and that kind of stuff. I'll will not die on a 40c heat, but some may, and the consequences on other systems will also affect me.

The panama canal, the lake more specifically, is drying up because of this stuff. And ~40% of US cargo ships use it.

That will really depend on how humidity changes. A earth with 10C more energy can hold a whole lot more water in the air, and that drops the wet bulb temperature. "Ah, but it's a dry heat" in the future could mean the difference between life or death.
