Extreme heat waves are already here, and they are killing tens of thousands of people. Blasting through 2 degrees Celsius of warming means they’ll happen many times more frequently.
Yes, I am not overly concerned. As I see it with enough cheap energy and technology, it is a livable problem, if only the entire region had peace and stable governments. Some cities in the more prosperous countries have outdoor air conditioning, and what luck cooling is a more efficient process than heating. I personally hope we develop nuclear energy and use outdoor air conditioning in all cities.

Nuclear power would definitely be a good solution. Solar with mirrors works well in hot climates too.
