. The GWLs come without a timeframe and represent a world that has reached the stated average warming for the period. It allows the user to investigate a world that has reached a certain level of global mean temperature regardless of the time at which that level has been reached, albeit acknowledging

. This means that even with cloud and rain, temperatures could stay above average. Whether the moisture and warmth come directly from Erin or another Atlantic system, the influence of tropical air is a key factor. Sea surface temperatures remain relatively high, and this can help maintain warmth in the air

As the remaining carbon budget is continually shrinking, it is very likely that we will overshoot the 1.5 °C target. The only way we can then come back to 1.5 °C is to reduce the cumulative CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and effectively reach a negative CO2 emissions regime. CO2 removal is one
