“The subset of plausible IPCC scenarios does not represent all possible trajectories of future emissions and warming. Collectively, they project continued mitigation progress and suggest the world is presently on a lower emissions trajectory than is often assumed. However, these scenarios also indicate that the world is still off track from limiting 21st-century warming to 1.5 ◦C or below 2 ◦C.” So even this selective subset scenario figures we’ll see more than 3.6°F increase in global temperatures… a low-end estimate which is disastrously high. Worse, they suspect we’ll see as much as 5.4°F increase. Wonderful. Well, at least this right-leaning libertarian magazine is essentially admitting that we’re well fucked if we don’t pull out all the stops.
