This is a serious problem for tracking progress towards both domestic goals and global temperature targets — and that's at the heart of the matters before us, right? (climatenetwork.org)
To put this number into context one can consider how much more CO2 can be released into the atmosphere before the 1.5 °C temperature target is exceeded. (climate.copernicus.eu)
For any given temperature target, there is a finite amount of carbon that can be burned before the chances of staying below that target become minimal. (carbonbrief.org)
