    Ok the climate model is still accurate, that’s nice.

    Sounds like that means we’re still on track for making the earth uninhabitable?

      We’re in a funny place right now; we bent the 2nd derivative on emissions, but aren’t yet moving fast enough to stabilize temperatures in the range where we’re assured that civilization can survive.

        For those that don’t understand calculus. Bending the 2nd derivative means we have slowed the rate of increase of emissions, but they are still increasing by more each year.
