We hit +1°C in 2017. We are above that already. So, yes, going back to +1°C would indeed be reversing it a bit. And you got shared a scenario already. "I have worked with climate scientists" is the most pathetic appeal to authority I have seen. I am an environmental scientist. It doesn't give me authority to override facts or to make shit up.

Nope, that's reversing it a bit. The consequences remain, but the warming slowly goes away.

Heh, the same comment got upvoted in environment. Guess the average US American is more worried about nationalism than about the environment.

It is already happening, of course it is inevitable. But we can halt it.

"Advisory opinion". And the US is the biggest responsible for climate change. And has already established precedent of passing laws that directly threaten the Hague. This is just a token of goodwill. Which isn't nothing, mind you, since international relations are slow to build trust. But I wouldn't call it a win of epic proportions.
EDIT: I seem to have offended some nationalists?

Whut? I didn't say I was a climate scientist man. Those most likely studied physics. I said I am an environmental scientist. And as I said, I'm not asking you to trust me. What the other guy said is true.
>scenarios with very low and low GHG emissions and CO2 emissions declining to net zero around or after 2050, followed by varying levels of net negative CO2 emissions23 (SSP1-1.9 and SSP1-2.6), as illustrated in Figure SPM.4.

As we all know, that is very unlikely. But hey, it's conceivable. Anyway, become an environmental activist. Don't give up. There's good reasons to fight.
