Hey man, I can't be the person to fully educate you on this but 2.7 degrees of average increase does not translate to a slightly warmer summer day. The language used makes it very misleadingly sound like no big deal, but it is a BIG deal. Without trying to be cliche, there is an XKCD for this and here it is: https://xkcd.com/1732/A short way to get the point across is that when the earth's average temperature was 4°C lower than it was in 1990, that was an ice age. "Boston is buried under almost a mile of ice".
Imagine such a dramatic climate change in the other direction, 5°C hotter than 1990.
