We can't avoid a 2°C world of climate chaos horrors, and this is set to hit by 2029.

From 2018:
Mid Pliocene climate 2C to 3C higher than today by 2030.

From 2019:
2C is a distinct challenge. Mann
3C is unavoidable. Hayhoe.
From 2016:
Very little chance of avoiding 3/4C. K. Anderson

From 2011:
2C inevitable without extraordinary action by 2017: ⚠️
From 2014:
'At our present pace of fossil fuel burning we will, by 2036, exceed the 2°C limit'
Emissions have since gone up and are accelerating.

From Jan 2017:
'not a single one of the scientists polled thought the 2C target likely to be met.'

From 2013:
'limiting the warming to 2 degrees would require keeping future cumulative carbon emissions below 250 billion tons, only half of the already emitted amount of 500 billion tons.'
This target is set to be missed by Nov 2019).

From 2009:
'Soaring emissions must peak and start to fall sharply within the next decade to head off a 2C rise, he said. To avoid the 4C scenario, that peak must come by the 2030s.'

From 2018:

Another well-known deadline (June 2020) is coming up fast. 👇
So many 2C deadlines have been missed over the years, and yet journalists and scientists still talk of staying under 1.5C.
