It is far from over.
We are currently doing the easy part of dropping emmissions. We have not yet peaked, globally speaking. Then we need to get to zero.
The only possible pathway now is overshoot and return. Which means we depend on carbon removal in a big style, in whatever form that will be.
It also means we will go temporarily over 2 °C. That is a critical number where several tipping points could be reached.
Pretty much the hardship has just begun. Now we need to stop emitting completely, somehow in the same time start to remove atmospheric CO² and hope that while we will be over 2 °C that no crucial tipping points will be reached.
