Above preindustrial temperatures

September's temperatures were 1.8°C above preindustrial temperatures. For that month, the Earth reached a level of heat that implies almost certain disaster.

Because that level of heat isn't permanent yet, there is still hope of avoiding disaster. People are installing solar and wind generation very fast, but now we need to stop all new fossil fuel development (Hello, USA! Hello, China!) and speed up decarbonization as much as possible before 2030.

Of course, Republicans want to do worse — but that doesn't make this ok.
