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.

Actual government intervention is starting to show up, and technology has worked in our favour. Maybe we'll do it. The biggest question is geopolitics, I think.

Of course, we might have hit a tipping point already, so net zero by 2050 will still lead to a very different Earth.
