How Far to the 1.5°C #Limit?

And what, you deserve to know, is my answer to the original question, “How far to the 1.5°C limit?” Using the current smoothed values calculated with my new definition of “pre-industrial,” I’ll say we are now 1.32°C above pre-industrial, so another 0.18°C will bring us to the limit. At the rate we’re going, I expect that to happen in the early 2030s.
