Get ready for a +1.5°C world:
“Analysis of over 1,200 climate scenarios was carried out by the Potsdam Institute to assess the feasibility of scenarios that limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2100, allowing for some overshoot”
They found that “low or no overshoot scenarios typically relied on assumptions unsupported by current data, such as the ability to draw down over “7 billion tons [CO2] per year from the atmosphere by 2050”, compared with a current global capacity of 43 million tons.”
