Looks like +2 C will be a lot sooner than preiously thought. Also:
"A doubling of the amount of #CO2 in the atmosphere could cause an increase in the average temperature on Earth from 7 to a maximum of 14 degrees"

IPCC models are based on the idea that some magical future CDR-technology will save us. So we are so doomed.

Graph #1 shows reduction of fossil fuel use required to avoid dangerous global warming, as described in post and linked article. This graph includes the introduction of CDR technology, and still indicates about a 30% drop in fossil use per decade.

Graph #2 shows reduction of fossil fuel use required to avoid dangerous global warming without CDR technology. Here it indicates about a 70% drop in fossil use per decade, as described in linked article.

Unabated fossil fuel consumption from 2010-2100 for scenarios which limit warming to 1.75C with a 66% likelihood, with and without CDR. Figure adapted from Grant et al. (2021).

CO₂ puts heavier stamp on temperature than previously thought, analysis suggests

A doubling of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere could cause an increase in the average temperature on Earth from 7 to a maximum of 14 degrees.
