It’s been a while since I looked at IPCC report. Is the worst case still apocalyptically bad? We’re nearing 1.5 degrees above average and the results are bad enough already. (Not looking forward to another summer of fires like Australia had a couple of years ago.)

We're still not only increasing emissions, but accelerating the increasing emissions. I don't think we'll avoid a rise of 4 degrees over the average.

On the bright side we may have killed the cycles of glaciation that would have been awkward in the future, to put it mildly. The cost is going to be so heavy though.
