It's not only about emissions, it's very much about us.

And I expect it to be faster than that. And what I build it on is following this for over a decade, watching all attempts, except those general trends, fall, again and again. Also about everything interacting, creating those 'unforeseen effects' we keep meeting.

"Avoiding 1.5C with no or little overshoot requires cutting all global emissions in half in the next eight years."
and " The Nature research shows that even if — and it's a big if — every signatory country meets their 2030 emissions reduction commitments and net-zero commitments, which were agreed to at or since last year's COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, warming could flatten out at between 1.9C and 2C by the end of the century.
Previous analysis has put us on track to hit at least 2.1C, and as much as 3.9C, by the end of the century. "

Educated guesses.
" Insects (particularly pollinators), amphibians and flowers face the biggest extinction risks at “mid-levels of warming” (3.2C), it adds. “Loss of species reduces the ability of an ecosystem to provide services and lowers its resilience to climate change,” the authors say.
The report notes, with medium confidence, that “more frequent and intense extreme events, superimposed on long-term climate trends, have pushed sensitive species and ecosystems towards tipping points, beyond ecological and evolutionary capacity to adapt, causing abrupt and possibly irreversible changes”.
Looking to the future, a scenario where temperature rise temporarily exceeds 1.5C for several decades before returning to below this warming level could push many species past their “physiological tolerance limit”, the report says. "

" The theme of the conference is the critical need for scientific knowledge and marine technology to build ocean resilience. Guterres called for a “goal of mapping 80% of the seabed by 2030”. "

I agree with this
" “In practice, damage is strongly dominated by intense tropical cyclones – category 3 and higher – whereas annual counts are strongly dominated be the weaker storms,” Emmanuel said. “So trends in total numbers do not mean very much for societal impacts.” "
The rest? I don't know. I'm also getting used to us constantly finding 'unforeseen effects', so?

Uplifting?
" The ever-expanding mountain of rubbish earned Teshima the nickname “garbage island”. Its residents wore masks when the waste was burned, sending plumes of acrid smoke into the air. Many complained of sore eyes, and some displayed symptoms associated with asthma. The local fishing and agricultural industries suffered, as consumers avoided Teshima fruit and seafood.
Almost 30 years after residents began their campaign to fight the firm responsible and their politician enablers, the multibillion-yen operation to restore the island to its former state is nearing its end. "
Notice ' multibillion-yen operation '. Japan should be one of the last countries in the world finding the economic capacity to pay for such a 'restoration'., And as I remember they have done most of that restoration decades ago, at a time when the GPD kept rising, everything seemed rosy and everyone's future endless.

If Mr Putin has expressed it that way, I would say he's correct. It reminds me very much of a gang of bullies in the schoolyard, fighting and threatening, and then onlookers, unsure of whom to cheer.

I'm in the last stages of cynicism those days, the terminal one.
Take this " “We must not walk into the trap Putin sets of asserting that the world is divided into the global west – the G7 and its friends in the north – and all the rest. That’s not true,” Scholz told Germany’s ZDF television. "
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/27/olaf-scholz-russia-ukraine-putin-trap-germany
Then this
" Top military officials from Israel and Saudi Arabia have met in secret US-brokered talks to discuss defence coordination against Iran, according to a report. Delegations from Riyadh, as well as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan and Egypt, met the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) chief of staff in the Egyptian town of Sharm el-Sheikh in March, the Wall Street Journal revealed on Sunday, citing US and regional officials.
The US was represented by Gen Frank McKenzie, the former head of US Central Command, whose area of responsibility was expanded under Donald Trump to include Israel. "

I've seen it used f.ex to explain why virtual particles can have a 'infinite energy', or even with 'real particles' in a 'spontaneous pair production' that also can contain this 'infinite energy' presuming the time period existing is extremely short, appearing to disappearing. It also connects to black holes and Hawking radiation.

And then there was 'SpaceTime'. Where your speed 'slows' your clock, as defined from your 'stationary' origin. And where time and distances becomes complementary, as per the muon thought experiment.
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Relativ/muon.html
And then we have HUP in where momentum and location can't be defined simultaneously, in your direct observation, which leads us to the ' The Time-Energy Uncertainty Relation ' https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/uncertainty.html

What's even nicer with it, from my point of view, is that I'm not sure I need 'many world' theories for it. I think I need a finite infinity but that's it. I can just let those 'unrealized potentials' be 'unrealized'.

Here's a crazy thought. Let's assume that universes 'coexist' in 'finite infinity'. And that time is a construct following similar principles to decoherence. About 'scales' in other words. And that those make it tick.

Maybe decoherence is about a scale of 'interactions', observers observing each other, forcing a 'existing' outcome. But without time, at that scale intrinsically, how can they be able to 'interact'? It's a headache.

If you use the ideas decoherence seems to use then it becomes about what scale you look at it. The difference, as I see it, from decoherence being in that we macroscopically always have a clock ticking for us, in all experiments, ignoring the scale we observe.
