Hot take: Apple introducing this whole new UI system and at the same time time cluttering the system settings with various options to undo this new look is an indication of how lost their design and product teams are.
5/n Assuming that the recent acceleration in warming is NOT due to reductions in aerosol emissions, we get can apply a slightly sloping curve. That would land us at about ~2.1°C.
4/n Assuming a close to linear temperature trend lands us pretty much at 2°C.
3/n We'll then assume that SO2 emissions were insignificant, meaning that warming could progress unabated. No changes to our CO2 emissions assumptions, so we can simply shift the curve left to close the gap:
2/n For this, we'll use the most up to date ensemble chart for global average temperatures. Luckily, a good soul has provided a cutting edge graph for Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempera... First step: We'll remove source labels and extend the scale to 2,5°C.
