We are at 1.3°C above pre-industrial average temperature. Scientists think we will pass 2.5°C.

An NDC is an abbreviation for 'nationally determined contribution' i.e. what the world says they will do to mitigate climate change.

"The best estimate of peak temperature in the twenty-first century (projected mostly for 2100 when temperature continues to rise) is in the range of 2.1–2.9 °C depending on the underlying assumptions.52 Without implementation of any conditional elements of NDCs, the best estimate of temperature change is 2.5–2.9 °C warming. Assuming full implementation of NDCs, including all conditional elements, the best estimate for peak global mean temperature is 2.1–2.4 °C."

And people still think climate change isn't happening because it snowed (a tiny amount) last winter. And apparently no one was talking about "global warming" then either. Fucking idiots. How can a grown ass man understand so little of the world?
