How many worst-case scenarios have we avoided and are going to avoid?
So, I was inspired by u/sg_plumber post about the worst-case emissions scenarios (aka "Business As Usual") are now officially implausible and u/Muchaton replied to my questions under said post where they said that the worst-case scenario (RCP 8.5) was doomerism and is retired. The second-worst case (RCP6) is the new 'worst case' we should have been worried about. We're on track to do better than third-worst case RCP4.5, and it got me wondering how many more worst-case scenarios we've avoided and potentially going to avoid or are we still potentially doomed? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I just wanted to know for my peace of mind and to share with others, especially my younger brother. Be sure to leave your sources, and no doomer comments, please
I'm also concerned about this 'Super El Niño', which's apparently the strongest since the 1870s. Is there any hope to be found?
