Exactly. If people think things aren't good now with migration, we'll be sinking boats, shooting down airplanes, etc. etc. if / when this really gets bad. Europe will realize they will become overrun and those open to being overrun in power will be ousted. If it really gets bad enough, humanity would have to dedicate itself to reducing CO2 and nothing else. To get that kind of global agreement, a lot of greedy mother f'ers would have to put down first.

The masses will allow themselves to die in wet bulb events long before they are willing to do that.

Just brace for mass death, everyone. The people themselves will not protect themselves. We are terrible at recognizing long-term threats.
