I think that’s a little bleak. We certainly won’t hit our more optimistic goals at this point, but 4c is a very negative prediction, even 3.5 is right at the worst end of current predictions.

The world is now on a path where it seems improbable that even the backlash of coal loving oranges can’t push us backwards that hard, fossil fuels just aren’t that economically advantageous anymore.

I do not say this out of complacency but because we need both fear and hope to succeed, we cannot languish in bitter rhetoric about how it’s too late to fix anything now.
