If wishes were horses. 0.8 degrees and counting.

"To put this into perspective, atmospheric concentrations of CO2 currently stand at around 400 parts per million, if this were to double, according to the IPCC’s estimates temperatures could rise as high as 4.5 degrees Celsius"

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Pre-anthropocene levels were at 280 ppm, so doubling brings us to 560. They say doubling from 400 could bring us up to 6.8 degrees C; 4.5 C (8.2 F) with a likely range between 3 C (5.4 F) and 6.8 C (12.3 F).
