What are some things that will happen if the world becomes 4 degrees warmer?

For the past 12,000 years,

collapsing coral reefs,
heatwaves that
make areas uninhabitable,
agriculture will collapse around
the equator.
We can reach a point where
Earth takes over and starts
reenforcing the warmth, i.e
Greenland.
As its surface melts, it becomes
darker and absorbs solar
radiation rather than reflecting
it. Ices
will melt decaying
organisms/matter and release
even more methane.
