Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve heard someone spout this much hopium and half-truths.

2.1C by 2100?? That’s just delusional. We’ll hit that by 2035 at the latest.

Please find a better source for global warming information. Perhaps start with Hansen.

Yeah, I agree that 2.1C would be kind of ridiculous, unless some magical technology rolls out pretty darn soon or all governments hit all of their goals (extraordinarily unlikely.) But given that a few decades ago we thought we were going for 4 degrees, 2.5-3.5 (Which he did say was most likely) is a great deal of improvement.
