Science: Current global efforts are insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C. Really!

The AAAS dedicated a whole special issue to the Global Warming and Climate Change Religion propaganda and demagoguery!

Subtitled: "Humanity can still avert climate catastrophe" This clearly pseudoscience or even junk science!

I have written here many blog posts to refute this hysteria and alarmism!
Climate models and their up to 100 year forecasts are mostly junk! We still know too little to reliably model  complex phenomena like climate. How accurate are weather forecasts beyond 48 hours?
Solar activity and cycles are completely dismissed or suppressed.
Air temperature measurements are severely flawed and I could go on ...

When somebody claims that climate is to change by 1.5°C, you can laugh this quack out of the room! This is not science denial, but pseudoscience!

From the abstract of the special issue review:
"Human activities have caused global temperatures to increase by 1.25°C, and the current emissions trajectory suggests that we will exceed 1.5°C in less than 10 years. Though the growth rate of global carbon dioxide emissions has slowed and many countries have strengthened their emissions targets, current midcentury net zero goals are insufficient to limit global warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial temperatures. The primary barriers to the achievement of a 1.5°C-compatible pathway are not geophysical but rather reflect inertia in our political and technological systems. Both political and corporate leadership are needed to overcome this inertia, supported by increased societal recognition of the need for system-level and individual lifestyle changes. The available evidence does not yet indicate that the world has seriously committed to achieving the 1.5°C goal."

Current global efforts are insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C
