There is a lot of confusion about carbon budgets and how quickly emissions need to fall to zero to meet various warming targets. To cut through some of this morass,

"Halving emission by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050 will get us to the 1.5°C ambition" is a dangerous myth, and it is unfortunately spreading all over the place.
