Ronald Regan famously asked "A tree is a tree is a tree is a tree... How many you want to see?". Republicans are very good with sound bites and quickies. So you can easily extend this to "A fish is a fish is a fish... how many more you wish?".
I don't think we will keep the warming down to 1.5 degrees. If we can't them wear a mask or take the vaccine to save their own cancer survivor mom, you think they will be kind to some fish in some strange part of the world they are never going to even visit? Anyway
Lots of hysteria around 1.5 degrees. Unfortunately, it's not attainable even if everything changed today. From an interview with Andrew Weaver, a prominent Canadian climate scientist[1]:
Interviewer: Let's get to the COP26 meeting in Glasgow. This meeting is meant to build on the Paris agreement of 2015, when the world's nations committed to keeping climate change to not more than two degrees---ideally 1.5 degrees. How are we doing on that?
Weaver: Let's be very clear: one and a half degrees is unattainable
If it gets colder that might be a bigger problem Colder means more oxygene.
And the temperature increase is not the only problem, but the acidation of the water, to which corals are very sensitive.
Pretty sure that the coral will evolve and adapt too so it can likely go higher than 1.5 degrees. That is not how evolution works. It works by chance, not by willfull "oh, we have to evolve and adapt or we are doomed".
The Dinosaurs died off because the world cooled too much. No, they died because an asteroid impact killed them. In the long run only animals as small as your fist survived (do you actually learn nothing in school?)
Modern humans have technology like Dykes, air conditioners, sunscreen to survive a much hotter world. Yes, because the future 13 billion people will be magically growing food in deserts.

The human race will never succeed in limiting warming to 1.5C. Most people and the "leadership" we have _still_ have not understood what is going on.

World has been much warmer
Yes.
in the past and much greener.
No.
CO2 rich atmosphere support much more plant li
