It’s been awhile since I have seen talk about 2°, as if we have given up on that number. Maybe only in the US, where climate change isn’t even really discussed in a meaningful way by our two primary presidential candidates.
The official goal is still 1.5, but that’s kind of irrelevant, since we’ve been over 1.5 for an entire year already, and the only reason the official number is still at 1.4 is that the number is averaged over several years and it’s technically possible temps will go down next year.

I sure hope so. But I think it would be bad to plan on luck alone (not that you are advocating for that).
