Well,... Thanks for sharing anyway. Hope can still strive for minimizing warming, and not just give up and aim for 2' warming, instead of as close to 1.5' as possible.

We should aim for 1.6 next, every fraction of a degree makes a difference

Although the report also says they expect us to hit 3.1 based on current trends
