See that small bright object in the middle right of this image? That's the small icy moon Mimas. Floating in space against a backdrop of giant Saturn, the planet crossed by shadows from its rings.
A black swath of shadow crosses the scene from top left to bottom right. The background is various shades of blue and grey. A small, illuminated crescent is at upper right. The lower portion of the image is lighter grey/brown.

So it looks like we will blow past 1.5˚C of warming. Some "overshoot" beyond this goal is now looking inevitable. But can we realistically return the planet to less than 1.5˚C of warming? Maybe, but I have my doubts about some of the proposed pathways to do so.
