Setting a hard limit (true or not) may have hurt more than helped. It introduces the "well, we're not there yet so have some time to act". When the news starts using 2.0 as a new limit, everyone will sigh in relief because we have more time to continue. Except we never did have that time.
That makes sense. That's why we have to keep it at 1.5C even if it's foregone, and 2.0C is very close to foregone if not already.
3.1 degrees if we don’t act.
