RCP 8.5 was never realistic, because there’s a point when accumulated disasters will limit industrial output (and therefore emissions), due to resource wars, famine, and instability.
The problem is that the IPCC doesn’t factor in climatic tipping points. When we pass 2°, chances are, we’ll accelerate toward 3-5 and beyond.
