1.5 was something that was maybe possible if we had immediately, globally have pulled out all the stops and we simply have not done that.
But pullout out no stops, and lying to each other about it, didn’t help at all?
It's analogue. It's a fader, not an on/off switch. It's set at 1.5 to give us a buffer between us and 2, which is where it gets really nasty.
But every 0.1 lower is better than 0.1 higher, whether it's above or below 2.
Soon we will all be living underground. Hopefully the earthquakes aren't too bad.
