    I like this graph from the article: Expected fossil fuel use

    Wasn’t it 2028 when the carbon budget for 1.5 °C runs out? And 2050 or so for 2 °C? Lol

      The dates on which budgets run out depend on the rate at which we continue to extract and burn fossil fuels.

      Future projections depend enormously on policy. Change policy, and those curves change.

        You are correct with both points. I merely wanted to point out, how far we are from reaching the Paris Agreement.

        1.5 may or not be a little later than 2028. The fossil consumption lines may or not be a little flatter.
