I wish people would stop using words like “symbolic”. This isn’t a symbol. Calling it one threatens to dilute the message.

It was symbolic though, as welll as based on evidence. The world’s commitment to take action to avoid breaching the barrier was a symbol of united, global political action. The fact that we have failed… and failed ahead of predictions is of course deeply worrying.
