Definitely not enough for 1.5C; whether recent policy changes get it to fall fast enough for 2C is an open question. They might if we can keep them in place after the election and the rest of the world joins in.
Anything less than 1.5°C is defeatism and is literally the end of the world as we know it. It will literally mean mass death. I won’t settle for a 2°C target.
I’ll be fighting for every fraction of a degree, but I don’t seriously expect to pull off 1.5C seeing as we’re likely to pass that point permanently within the next couple years
@silence7@mambabasa east coast US & Europe better get ready for AMOC to be shutting down as early as 2025. Florida gonna turn blue despite the red MAGAhats.

“as early as” means it comes from a paper saying “between 2025 and 2095”. Even then, what other scientists are saying is that the paper points out that it’s a risk, it’s still something like a 10% chance of happening in that time frame.
