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.

Unfortunately not. The idiots now doing the most damage are justifying it with just pointing fingers at China or everyone else. They're the same narcissists who will always find someone else to blame for everything, in every aspect of their life

In 20 years time, those same people will still be blaming everyone else, whilst spewing anti-science nonsense about how clean solar apparently isn't or that EVs is far more dirty than their Dodge RAM's they use to flirt with their mates.

They're also the same clowns that exaggerate everything to justify their arguments (and they think everyone needs to tow 5 tons, travel 1500km on a regular basis and that EVs are regularly catching on fire)
