>IPCC authors concluded that the global mean equilibrium warming for doubling CO2 (a concentration of approximately 540 parts-per-million (ppm)), or equilibrium climate sensitivity, very likely is greater than 2.7 °F (1.5 °C) and likely to lie in the range 4 to 8.1 °F (2 to 4.5 °C), with a most likely value of about 5 °F (3 °C).

So what would a 4 to 5 °C warmer climate look like exactly? 8 °C?

Depends on where you live, at best it might have little to no effect. At worst significant drought and desertification. Sea levels should also rise somewhat so that might also concern you if you live in the coast.

Generally, more summer, less winter and more extreme weather.

the weather change will be concentrated at the extreme latitudes.

Since the poles heat more than the equatorial regions we can conclude temperature differences will actually be less than before.. will this affect weather? will this actually lower windspeeds?

Please, global warming, do it.

They're two separate questions. OP just formatted them awkwardly.

The summer, it doesn't even end anymore.

You mostly get the temperature anomaly (deviation from some base value) rather than the real temperature because the latter depends on location.
