We are losing this battle, and given that anthropogenic warming has never happened before, any assumption that this can now be contained by human corrective action is questionable.
The United States is producing more oil than any country in history. That is not a path to a "soft landing".

There's very little reason to assume 30-year linear warming extrapolation.
Emissions, forcings, Earth's Energy Imbalance and (especially variability corrected) temperature observations all indicate acceleration of global warming.
We should prepare for reaching +2.0°C soon!

Just re-watched the movie Daybreakers where a worldwide corporation run by vampires that sells human blood, seeks to destroy any trace of a cure for vampirism because that would cut into profits, even though the last humans are dying off and vampires will perish. And that's about where we are now.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster.

Oh look, it's another case of nature not caring if you believe in science or not.
Climate scientists will spend years debating this enormous Absorbed Solar Radiation increase.
Some will call it a strong aerosol forcing, some a climate feedback, some 'the pattern effect'.
The result is the same = more heat accumulating faster on Earth, accelerating regional and global warming.

How quickly do we need to reduce emissions for a ‘liveable future’? Perhaps all the ‘there’s still time to act’ grifters could explain themselves?
Many in the climate and sustainability spaces are now spreading misinformation - they are part of the post-truth era.

We are on track for 30 meters of sea level rise. The last time Earth was at this level of CO2 there were giant salamanders and alligators living in lush fern forests above the Arctic circle. Most of equatorial Earth is on track to become uninhabitable.

This is the grift of a lifetime for Trump, and is also the reason you won't see Elon go away anytime soon. At least not until looting the federal gov't is well underway.
