I now know enough to know that AR6 was concluded 2 years ago and since then there has been increasing evidence that our most dire models are actually rather optimistic. Even if we went carbon zero today temperature would still continue to uptick for years do to runaway affects that we were unaware of.
That's not how climate science works. The IPCC reports detail the current scientific consensus. Single papers do not change the consensus as soon as they are published.
IPCC AR6 on the contrary said things are better than we thought in AR5, and downgraded the likelyhood for the worst scenarios to play out.
Have you read any IPCC reports?
Have you read the experts that point out the IPCC has continuously been overly conservative?

Hope you have a great day :)
