With evidence mounting on the failure to limit global warming to 1.5C, do you think global carbon emissions will be low enough by 2050 to at least avoid the most catastrophic climate change doomsday scenarios forecast by the turn of the century?

I am somewhat hopeful most developed countries will get there but I wonder if developing countries will have the ability and inclination to buy into it as well.

    I give it the tiniest slimmest of chances to succeed. Below 1%

    Too much regressives & right wingers. Entire, countries sometimes.

    Plus, a handful of country(USA, China, india) are so overwhelmingly disproportionately polluting compared to the rest of the world ( or will massively increase in the next decades in the case of India ) that if all 3 are not all in into it, nothing anyone else does matters. And I don’t believe any of those 3 will do enough.

    So regardless of what the rest of the world does, I do t believe it matters. I still think they should tho, because if all 3 DO in fact make it, if the rest didn’t, it still won’t work either. So, achieving a largely global goal is even impossibl-er in my opinion

    We are are fucked as is. A way to ‘solve’ this is a global collapse in population, but that wouldn’t be very nice either.
