This is for @adapalmer's tag: the energy transition is (too slowly) happening, to the point that on current actions, it's expected that global warming by 2100 will amount to 2.7° C, vs. 3.9° 10 years ago; if pledges are taken into account then it's 2.1°, vs. 3.1° 10 years ago. 2.7° is really bad but not apocalyptic; 2.1° is bad but on about the same order of magnitude as existing war refugee events (Syria, Sudan, etc.).
