Agreed, for some reason I thought we'd hit 1.5c by 2100 or something like that. It was very eye opening to see we're already at 1.1c

I'm confident that eventually we'll collectively respond but by that time the expense of the recovery will be huge and the devastation will already be here.

I'm starting to believe more and more in "the great filter"

That's 1.1c since the 1880 starting point. Not 1.1c for the 21st century. We are still on track for 1.5-2.5c warming in the 21st century.
