I'm not sure if I understand this graph. The cone seems to represent "no climate policy". Why should we be surprised that we are currently trending out of the "no climate policy" cone since we are implementing climate policy?

Taking a second look, that plot is only CO2 from energy and the the plot y scale has a discontinuity. If we need to get to net 0 emissions and the rate of CO2 production is still increasing that would suggest we are still a far ways off from the goal.

I just checked and the IPCC 5th assessment was made in 2014. The 6th assessment is scheduled for 2022. Does anyone know if the baselines get updated with each IPCC assessment?
