By 2050. E.g. 25 years away:
- less than typical mortgage term
- affects people under 60
- before babies born today would get married
Sounds bad.

"At 2ºC this increases to 4Gt/year, roughly the same as the 38 OECD countries combined."
... Errr that sounds bad.
So that model: "if human emissions stopped completely, then global warming would stop fairly quickly" isn't even true?

The 3 Year Average for Global Warming just passed 1.5C
The 2 Year Average passed 1.5C in November 2024
I wondered: what is the longest running average, that equals 1.5C for any given date
What about the other Global Warming Milestones: 0.5C, 0.75C, 1C, 1.25C, 1.75C
Data: ERA5

IIRC @race2extinct.bsky.social (lyle lewis) got to be the person tasked with signing off on environmental assessments, and all the power/pressure/rewards strongly encouraged saying yes to whatever the ranchers wanted (including from within the agency)

I guess if you understand the climate science, and the government will only listen to growth compatible narratives, then believing in CCS, SRM and technofixes give you a pathway to retaining your sanity. Not working out so far though.
