I'm picturing the people sipping their martinis in the Arctic circle
I think there will be a time where the polar circles are going to be the only habitable place on earth
We did have temperatures like 8 degrees higher then today. It means rainforest covered large parts of the world. However the North European plain was also covered in water, which is a slight issue.
We've had much-warmer temperatures on Earth, but outside of when humans were around.

If you're in Europe, 90°F is ~32°C and 50°F is 10°C.

We can live in even the warm areas of an Earth like that, but it'd be an Earth that's warmer than humanity has ever experienced.
