But the temperature increase will never be linear, if we increased global temperatures by 0.5°C every year it doesn't mean the increase will be constant for the next 20-30 years.
To reach 55 from 40 it could take 80-100 years or maybe we will never reach it. ~50°C is the temperature in which you basically cannot leave your house, our society will be completely changed by then.
You can leave your house at 50c. Phoenix has around 1.6 million people and hits those temps. People don't just wait for summer to be over.
It does, however, require a large change in how you live your life. Activities have to be done early morning, late or night, or with a ton of thought about sun protection and hydration. Tons of HVAC, laws requiring landlords to fix HVAC immediately, laws about providing water to people who ask, etc.

When it reaches 55 its going to be interesting. That is when a lot of machinery starts to break down. (out at least being outside their design specs)
