A little known fact is that we likely already crossed 1.5C.

Latest IPCC reports a likely cool down due to aerosols of 0.4C. But aerosols are a serious health issue (responsable of several millions premature deaths). And most of aerosols come from incomplete fossil fuels (hopefully we'll get ride of them), whereas their lifespan is less than a few years. So their cool down effect is only temporary.

Also, it's quite unknown that Europe has already at +2C. Far from Equatorial + being in a continent are factors for warming faster.
