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

That’s not the scientific consensus. Keeping things to 2C requires drastic action quickly, and going beyond 2C leads to a great deal of suffering. But going beyond 2C does not make the human race extinct.

If you read the report, you'll see that the idea is to keep it at or below 1.5 °C, because 2°C is disaster.

From the 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.'

The report nowhere says "human survival" You've been asked to back up the "human survival" part repeatedly with a citation and you haven't

There's ample scientific literature on what is likely to happen if we don't manage to keep warming below 1.5 ° over the next decade. None of it describes conditions conducive to human survival.

Now, you've repeatedly been shown quotes emphasising things that you denied were even part of the report. Were you lying when you made those repeated denials, or had you actually not read the thing?

No, I haven't, you haven't shown me any quotes about the Earth being stripped of oxygen and the human race dying out even after I directly asked you for one

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

At least if you ignore the literature on what happens if the deadline is met, which you're hoping people have done. Because what you've described so far are two of the milder results.

There is no credible source I'm aware of that floats the idea of reversing the Great Oxygenation Event and making all complex life on Earth extinct There are plenty of activists I follow who explicitly say not to say stupid shit like that
