Only ONE socio-economic scenario of the most recent climate models suggests we can limit warming to 2C - and it has us going *over 2C* within a couple of decades, before then cooling down via magical, drastic geoengineering measures (which don& #39;t exist). https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚠️" title="Warning sign" aria-label="Emoji: Warning sign"> https://www.vice.com/en_in/article/ywabb5/new-dire-climate-models-say-the-planet-warms-faster-than-we-thought">https://www.vice.com/en_in/art...
& #39;Le scénario le plus optimiste “implique une diminution immédiate des émissions de CO2 jusqu’à atteindre la neutralité carbone à l’échelle de la planète vers 2060, ainsi qu’une captation de CO2 atmosphérique de l’ordre de 10 à 15 milliards de tonnes par an en 2100”, ce que...

"Our study suggests that human-induced global warming of 2°C may trigger other Earth system processes, often called & #39;feedbacks& #39;, that can drive further warming – even if we stop emitting greenhouse gases." https://www.sciencealert.com/humans-unleash-irreversible-hothouse-earth-scientists-warn-global-warming-climate-change-feedback">https://www.sciencealert.com/humans-un...
& #39;other models developed independently have come to the same unsettling conclusion, Boucher confirmed.

"The most respected ones -- from the United States, and Britain& #39;s Met Office -- also show a higher ECS" than the previous generation of models, he said& #39;. https://www.france24.com/en/20190917-earth-warming-more-quickly-than-thought-new-climate-models-show">https://www.france24.com/en/201909...
My reading of this is that the horror of 3°C - mass suffering, mass death - is quite likely to occur by around 2060, having most likely hit 2°C around 2040.

Scientists are cautious about new models, but if many models show this independently, isn& #39;t this the big news story?
