We have exceeded 1.5c warming.

"I think it's safe to say that both 2023 and 2024 temperatures surprised most climate scientists - we didn't think we'd be seeing a year above 1.5C this early," says Dr Hausfather.

"Since 2023 we've had around 0.2C of extra warming that we can't fully explain, on top of what we had expected from climate change and El Niño," agrees Helge Gößling, a climate physicist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany.

.2C of extra warming since 2023.

substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to hold global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change - The Paris Agreement

I strongly recommend this book from last fall, there's an extremely thorough recounting of the route that got climate wonks that go to these summits to all quietly embrace the idea that it's ok to pass any announced target as long as there is some lip service to bringing temperatures back down to the target.

Maybe the most aggressively cited text I've ever read, and is a serious investigation into this apocalypse libs and fash are holding hands walking us in to.
