There are numerous scenarios that keep warming below 2C with a decent chance (66%) in 2100, median warming of about 1.7C or 1.8C in 2100.
These scenarios are very much in play, if the world gets its act together and starts mitigating.

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now
Since 2020, I’ve:
1). Switched to an electric induction stove.
2). Switched to a 50g heat pump hot water heater.
3). Converted 2/3 HVACs to heat pumps.
4). Bought an EV (Nov ‘24).
Electric bill has gone up ~$350/year, which is about what I’d pay in natural gas for 2 winter months here in NC.

China is electrifying faster than any other economy in the world. It has correctly apprehended that electricity is the future and the country that gets there first & develops the best electrification tech will win the 21st century.
The US is held back in this race by its domestic O&G industry.

Why China is leading the global switch to electricity
In 2024, electricity made up 28% of China's total final energy consumption. That's comfortably ahead of the US (22%) and the EU (21%).
