It’s 12 years to zero carbon if we want to keep below 1.5C, without assuming massive removal of carbon from the atmosphere from the mid century. Obviously this doesn’t stand much chance of happening, but it gives you an idea of the scale of the challenge. The Paris cuts are very much within our ability to do, and likely without damaging the economy, although of course some special interests with holdings in fossil fuels will lose their money. That’s a good start, even if it ends up being 2-3C that’s infinitely better than the alternative.
