tl;dr - authors estimate that millionaires will account for >70% of the remaining carbon we can emit while still staying under 1.5 C. Among billionaires, yachts account for over 60% of their annual emissions.

Pretty sure we have already blown past that 1.5 C already.
1.5 isn't "locked in" in terms of absolute carbon emissions, but it will be by roughly 2030 if we stay on our current trajectory. It's all but inevitable unless there's a rapid shift in fossil fuel consumption patterns starting, like, yesterday.
If the US keeps taking Ls globally it’s not out of the question.
