Places where temperature is already at the global maximum aren’t going to see dramatic changes.
It doesn’t take a dramatic change to push an area from “hot” to “deadly.” I’d take a high latitude continental climate at +10 degrees over normal over an equatorial region +5 over.
Yeah that’s the flip side of it, a few degrees make a big difference when you’re already at the edge of survivability. Another aspect is food production. Imagine having a heat wave for a few weeks that kills the harvest, that’s a recipe for a famine.

It’s a good thing most Americans get their food from McDonald’s!
