If I were polling people on the likelihood of blowing past the Paris targets, I wouldn't ask climate scientists:
I'd poll CEOs, elected officials, and leaders, at every scale. I'd ask WHY they felt that way. And I'd want those answers shared.

We need to do 3 things about climate change:
1) Mitigate - reduce emissions
2) Adapt - to changes that have already occurred, those we are committed to, and those we choose to occur because we don’t mitigate enough
3) Suffer - because we don’t do enough to mitigate or adapt

Implementation of current pledges and targets (with NO additional climate policy achievements) brings warming down to ~2C. Limiting warming to 1.5C requires substantial additional policy innovation.
But we all knew that. Right?
