1. This is behind a paywall, but 1.5C by 2100 is pretty much Bullshit.

This study seems to only include CO2, and the Aerosols from burning carbon fuels.
They are using IPCC data which is several year old by the time it go through the review processes.
The current temp levels are definitely already at at least 1.0C and some months have been 1.5c
Arctic Amplification means the arctic is 2x to 4x more than the average global temp NOW.
We will have a "blue ocean" ice free arctic ocean event this year or next year = 1 to 2C per P. Wadams
Thousands of methane hills are pushing up across Russia, some exploding into craters.
Permafrost is melting all across the arctic from Alaska to Canada to Greenland to Russia.
Out of control massive forest fires are a yearly occurrence the world over now. More soot, less CO2 absorbers.
And the list goes on...

I am just an amateur reading articles, but only increasing by 1.5c in 70 years? Not on this planet.
