Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals? (lemmy.sdf.org)

With evidence mounting on the failure to limit global warming to 1.5C, do you think global carbon emissions will be low enough by 2050 to at least avoid the most catastrophic climate change doomsday scenarios forecast by the turn of the century?

I am somewhat hopeful most developed countries will get there but I wonder if developing countries will have the ability and inclination to buy into it as well.

Well, the most dramatic scenary is that everyone is going to die. So, yes, we will avoid that.

But realistically, I think we wojt do 1,5C, but are going to have more like 2,5-3C. So horrible, but still survivable for at least half of the humans now.
