Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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.

It depends on if the super-wealthy can figure out how to make money off of it. If they can then all the politicians will fall in line because you don't say no to your main source of income.

This is exactly the reason we are not going to succeed. I've already come to terms with it. We're fucked.
