 Why are we still pretending we’re going to stay below 1.5C? This article feels criminally misleading. 

“The prospects of the world staying within the 1.5C limit on global heating have brightened owing to the “staggering” growth of renewable energy and green investment in the past two years”

We’re already periodically hitting 1.5C this year, so how long do we actually have to reduce emissions in order to stay under 1.5C?
