Holding global warming to a critical limit would require "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society."
Based on the report, we are absolutely going to hit the critical limit now. No stopping it. The best we could do, literally the best, is to prevent from going too far above it.
So, we are definitively fucked. Now we just get to compete for how bad it is going to get by the end.

That cycle seems to be in full effect and accelerating at the same time we are also accelerating our greenhouse gas emissions.
I think the short and long term situation is worse than even recent reports suggest.
