It won't become hostile to human life, it will become more challenging for human civilization to deal with the warming. And we don't need magic, we can decarbonize and pursue several strategies for mitigation.

The crop failures and flooding will create famine, refugee crisis and wars that will kill more people than WW2, covid19 etc. But unlike the previous crises, it will mostly affect "other" people.

But we will have several strategies for mitigation on paper.

Given how many people reject any decarbonizing plan as political ploy, we might as well need magic to make it work. :/
