> A 2021 survey by the science journal Nature found that a majority of world-leading climate scientists believe that we are heading towards a catastrophic 3°C of warming by the end of the century. Only 4% surveyed said they thought limiting warming to 1.5°C was likely But also 1.5c is still the talking point for politicians.

I don’t know of many (any?) American politicians who are being honest about this. Maybe there are more forthright folks abroad. I think it’s just too politically costly.
