"We're not at 1.5 degrees Celcius yet,"

We've hit it 11 times.

July 2023 Temperature Update - Berkeley Earth
The global mean temperature in July 2023 was 1.54 ± 0.09 °C (2.77 ± 0.16 °F) above the 1850 to 1900 average, which is frequently used as a benchmark for the preindustrial period.

This is the 11th time in the Berkeley Earth analysis that an individual month has exceed 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) over the preindustrial benchmark. All other such occurrences have happened during December to April, i.e. during the traditionally more variable months of Northern Hemisphere winter and spring. This is the first time that a 1.5 °C anomaly has occurred during Northern Hemisphere summer. Such a temperature excess coming during the already hot summer months is more likely to lead to extreme temperatures and all-time records than if it had occurred at other times of the year.

"That's a 50% increase for maybe a 1.2 degree Celsius increase in temperature over the past 150 years. If or when we hit 500 PPM, how much will global temperatures increase? Maybe another 0.6 degrees."

Maybe another 1.8 degrees, too.

The world won't end. It's pretty tough.
