Existing and Proposed CO2 Emissions from Fossil Fuel Infrastructure Compared with Pathways to 1.5°C (IPCC SR1.5 P1, Blue dotted Line) and 2°C (RCP2.6, Black dotted Line) Scenarios The emissions exclude some of the current CO2 sources, such as land use change and cement manufacturing, and thus the 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios start at higher levels. Modified from Pihl et al. The clear gap between reality (dotted arrows) and ideal (solid arrows) calls for immediate action, the two sets of arrows indicate the current actions under 1.5°C and fossil fuel infrastructure scenarios.
