tl;dr: Why you shouldn’t despair about that 1.5C warming news: we haven’t missed the Paris Agreement’s target, El Niño was a factor, and this threshold is not a point of no return. We should instead use this as a call to action.
500 plus ppm CO2e means we have breached it.
Quibbling about 1.5C at this point is ridiculous. We’re close enough it no longer matters.
That current conditions are bad and getting worse is without question, except by the truly blind.
