Remember:
1.3°C: today's global warming.
1.4°C could be reached next year.
1.5°C might trigger irreversible processes leading to a self-reinforcing warming cycle that could ultimately culminate in an uninhabitable planet.
1.6°C by 2029 is likely.
Why isn't this on TV news?

I stole the quote from @NafeezAhmed. See this still very relevant article on the Oct 2018 IPCC report:

Here is a key paper submitted in 2016 showing 1.2C (using an appropriate 18th century baseline).

Now, in 2020, we're at 1.3C.
'Global average temperatures have risen about 1.3˚C from pre-industrial levels'

Paul Beckwith calculates 1.4C today (again, this takes into account the confusing uses of a variety of baselines). See comment here:
