You can draw a circle centered around south-east Asia wherein a very substantial portion of the earth's population lives, where the wet-bulb temperature is predicted to surpass 36°C in the coming decades, effectively making that zone uninhabitable, potentially triggering enormous climate refugee waves

That's not even restricted to south-east Asia, 719 people died in Canada in 2021 from extreme heat.
