"A Guardian survey of 100s of the world’s leading climate experts has found that:

77% of respondents believe global temperatures will reach at least 2.5C above preindustrial levels, a devastating degree of heating;
Almost half – 42% – think it will be more than 3C;
Only 6% think the 1.5C limit will be achieved.
The task climate researchers have dedicated themselves to is to paint a picture of the possible worlds ahead. From experts in the atmosphere & oceans, energy & agriculture, economics & politics, the mood of almost all those the Guardian heard from was grim. And the future many painted was harrowing: famines, mass migration, conflict. “I find it infuriating, distressing, overwhelming,” said one expert, who chose not to be named. “I’m relieved that I do not have children, knowing what the future holds,” said another."
