Summary from the BBC: we are past 1.5c, reduction in emissions won’t save us, some kind of carbon capture is required to contain at 2c even with reduction in emissions and it will go to nearly 4c if we do nothing. Scientists are split whether CO2 can even be captured at scale and planting trees reduces it by 0.1c. In short we are fucked if we want the same weather.
