What the latest numbers imply for meeting our climate goals

1.5C with a 66% chance – 2030

1.5C with a 50% chance – 2035

2C with a 66% chance – 2069

2C with a 50% chance – 2079

We would've just barely hit the 2035 target if the emissions drop continued the covid course. Sobering graphic. We basically could only make it if we were to kill our global economy.
It's fine, we can just take out a loan. :)
