Reports like this always make me worry but I feel better knowing there are actually realistic (if ambitious) plans to limit warming helps a lot.
The plan I like the most is by the people at https://www.rewiringamerica.org/ https://www.rewiringamerica.org/ which starts at 1.5C warming limit and works backward through the energy system to figure out what physical machines needs to change on what timeframe. They basically found that one of the most effective ways is electrify everything (cars, stoves, heating/cooling, etc) and switch over to mostly or all renewable electricity. We'll meet the carbon target as fast as possible, save everyday people money with the right financing, and create a lot of jobs all without changing our lifestyles significantly. It's going to be a lot of work but it can be done.
