What the latest numbers imply for meeting our climate goals

Cross-posted from https://slrpnk.net/post/552642

Here we find that to meet our climate targets, global emissions would have to reach zero in:

  • 1.5C with a 66% chance – 2030
  • 1.5C with a 50% chance – 2035
  • 2C with a 66% chance – 2069
  • 2C with a 50% chance – 2079

    We would’ve just barely hit the 2035 target if the emissions drop continued the covid course. Sobering graphic. We basically could only make it if we were to kill our global economy.
