Other studies and simulations suggest a more substantial rise in temperature will occur even if we were to stop all emissions today. Already there are reports of local hot spots where the temperature rise is on the order of 5 degrees Celsius. Expressing temperature rise in terms of a probability or likelihood to an accuracy of 1% seems a little strange. Finally, the hypothesis is poorly stated. Rather than using "hit" it would be better to say "reached or exceeded".
