Then maybe don't mislead people about the situation. The issue here is that, according to the scientific consensus, there is a minimum level of emissions reduction that absolutely must be attained within about ten years in order to ensure human survival. Biden doesn't come close

Moreover, you haven't actually linked to the report at all, only to secondary sources describing the report as an urgent call to stay below 1.5 degrees of warming (which it is), but none of which present your apocalyptic reasoning for 1.5 degrees being an absolute cutoff
-
IPCC's summary: If NDC ambitions are not increased immediately and backed up by action, exceeding the 1.5°C goal can no longer be avoided. If the emissions gap is not closed by 2030, it is very plausible that the goal of a well-below 2°C temperature increase is also out of reach.

So you always admitted that the 12-year deadline was in there, and the urgency of fundamental socioeconomic transformation as well? Is that what you're claiming now?
-
It's a deadline the report sets as a viable target, it's not an absolute deadline for the "survival of the human race", which is good because it it were then it would already be too late at this point to meet it
