Reacción a "Reactions: COP28 approves "transition away from fossil fuels" in Global Stocktake"

The first global stocktake quotes lots of sound science highlighting the severity of the situation we are in, and this is to be applauded. However, it's worrying that the Dubai negotiations went ahead on the basis of a misunderstanding of how close we are now to reaching 1.5°C global warming. The text gives observed warming as "about 1.1°C", but this is already out of date - the actual current global warming level is about 1.3°C. While this is clearly not the main reason why the agreement falls short of what is needed, it may have contributed to a reduced sense of urgency.
