A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5Β°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51Β°C and not 2Β°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of COβ emitted makes the job of future COβ removal harder, and every 0.01Β°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
