Sure but didn’t we already hit 1.5 C warming? We’ve barely slowed the amount of CO2 we are dumping in the atmosphere. Even If we stopped all CO2 emissions today we are getting to 2C.
Unfortunately we haven’t even slowed it at all. 2024 was the highest-emission year yet. We’re still accelerating
We had a year of average +1.5C, but the coming years are unlikely to be as hot on account of moving into La Niña. This is bad, but it’s not the same as having crossed the +1.5C-threshold, which is measured in a window of multiple years.
