While much of the climate community considers global warming beyond 2C to be highly dangerous, William Nordhaus in his 2018 Nobel in Economics acceptance lecture called 4C "optimal". Many coastal areas will find it impossible (or extremely costly) to adapt to continued sea-level rise.

To avoid the most disastrous sea-level rise, storms, heat waves, and drought, the best available science says that greenhouse gas emissions must be cut in half in the next decade or so and brought to net-zero by the middle of the century. No one involved with the report recommends that the U.S.

University of Tasmania professor Pete Strutton suggests that drastic cuts in CO2 output will no longer be enough to prevent warming of 3 C (Global Carbon Project, [GCP], 2019). In the context of this information, negative emissions technologies (NETs) are now as important as zeroing out emissions.

Taking immediate action to slash emissions towards net zero by 2050 could make a monumental difference to the level, frequency, and breadth of growing climate impacts, the scientists emphasise. The stark fact is that if we keep warming to 1.5?C C we are still facing half a metre of sea level rise.
