The 2015 Paris Agreement had two goals regarding the global average temperature increase above its pre-industrial (1850–1900) level. The first was to set a hard cap to well below 2°C. The second was to try and limit it to 1.5°C". We've now fully blown past the latter, which is something that climate scientists intuited for years and is now substantiated by Copernicus data (https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-october-2024). October was 1.65°C above the pre-industrial level and was the 15th month in a 16-month period for which the atmosphere exceeded the Paris goal of 1.5°C. As to the first goal, it's still work in progress, but it looks like the future got decided in no small part yesterday.
