   "Without immediate and deep greenhouse gases emissions reductions across ALL sectors and regions, it will be impossible to keep warming below 1.5° C"

   > For a 1.5ºC pathway emissions must fall by 8.7% in 2024
   > For a 2ºC pathway emissions must fall by 5.3% in 2024

   None of the above is going to happen.

   Get ready to live in a 1.5-2ºC world. What does your region of the planet look like at these levels of heating? Find this information as soon as you can. The data is available.

     So, we are basically "right on track" regarding the #CimateCrisis, as the #Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (#PIK) had analyzed in its scenarios in December of 2022:

     #ClimateBreakdown (as we know it), as all likely-to-be-implemented #climate measures are completely unlikely to limit #GlobalWarming to +1.5°C. If we will manage to limit it to "just" +2.0°C is more unlikely by the month, as warming is probably still *accelerating*!

     Yes, as they have been historically.

     @HistoPol

     Climate scientists are still way too optimistic in most of their scenarios, I believe.
