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.

Nothing will be done, I wouldn't sell my Shell shares yet.

If capitalism is still the dominant economic system and wealth inequality is even higher then it is now, then there is no chance at all of meeting climate goals, there never was.

Lest we do not make use of geoengineering, definitely not.
