If you scroll down just a bit you'll see this one.

And, where do you see 1.45 C forecast for 2020 outside of Scenario A? Scenario B doesn't even come close to the 1.25 indicator line.

The realclimate.org graph (https://www.realclimate.org/images/Hansen88_forc.jpg) shows B as off the chart by 2020, but 1988 is around .2 and 2015 is around 1.45. Extending another 5 years, should be about 1.45 deg C difference by 2020.

The NASA chart shows a rise of about .7 during that time.

That's not a graph of temperature. It's a graph of the emissions (expressed as a forcing) that define each scenario. You want the one below it.
So it is, my apologies.
