@npub14k2…ed68 There were claims made at the last COP that not exceeding 1.5 was still achievable, but I assumed that it was only politicians who hadn't fully understood the science who subscribed to this view.

The thing I find most surprising in this article is that as many as 6% of scientists involved in the IPCC think that warming will be limited to 1.5°C or less.
World’s top climate scientists expect global heating to blast past 1.5C target https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/08/world-scientists-climate-failure-survey-global-temperature?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Here are a couple of schematic graphs I posted on the birdsite last year after hearing some politicians' comments on the then newly released #IPCC Working Group III report.
They highlight that the path to #netzero envisaged by many politicians and business leaders is quite different from what the science community mean. The consequences are not the same.
Seems appropriate to raise this again today.
