Remember:
1. the tropics may become uninhabitable if global warming reaches 1.6°C-1.7°C
2. the best case scenarios with economic growth: 1.6°C-1.7°C by the 2040s
3. media refuse to explain the postgrowth alternatives that have been well understood by economists for decades

We're somewhere between intermediate, high, and very high emissions scenarios: 2°C-2.4°C by 2041-2060; 3°C possible
IPCC unlikely best case scenario: 1.6°C
