There is no adaptation plan to +3C or +4C. Stop dreaming: it is necessary to mobilize all resources to combined mitigation and adaptation solutions. The proper mix of mitigation and adaptation climate action is one that has higher probability to remain under +2C. Optimal is +1.5C
I'm also pretty worried about nuclear winter following a nuclear exchange, which could drop temperatures in the North Hemisphere by 20 to 30 degrees C. Do you know of anybody doing a compare & contrast of global warming vs. nuclear winter as existential risks?

Was just listening to the
#JRE podcast with Adam Frank, and he mentions how through our actions, we’ve probably staved off any chance of an Ice Age from happening again, which is a good thing for us in general. - 1 more reply

The climate optimum was reached circa 1900 so 300 ppmCO2. How do you estimate 550ppmCO2 can be safe when sea level rise rate quadrupled to 3.4 mm/year as we were crossing the 400 ppmCO2 threshold ?

Seriously ? What is the relationship with civil applications of nuclear power ?
