What we're experiencing right now is basically the impact of around 1.5 degrees. All of that is basically from very old emissions. We're on the hook for at least a couple more degrees, but its not like we've even slowed or stopped the rate of emissions, so perhaps even more than that.
The impacts of these forcings won't be linear.
