Do I believe her, or rather the scientist she is quoting? Well, I think we'll be down to a few billion people by the end of the century, mostly living in the empty spaces of Canada and Russia. There's not a lot of space in Southern South America and Africa, cuz they taper. Greenland and Antarctica will still be covered by ice.

Too Hot to Handle: How Climate Change May Make Some Places Too Hot to Live – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet (nasa.gov)

Raymond says it’s hard to say when we might see global wet-bulb temperatures regularly topping 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). That’s because it’s a complex process that’s happening gradually and unfolding differently in different places. But climate models tell us certain regions are likely to exceed those temperatures in the next 30-to-50 years. The most vulnerable areas include South Asia, the Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea by around 2050; and Eastern China, parts of Southeast Asia, and Brazil by 2070.


The United States isn’t immune, however. Within 50 years, Midwestern states like Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa will likely hit the critical wet-bulb temperature limit.
