Obviously, if we decided to limit warming to 1.5C at all costs, an extremely effective solution would be detonating nuclear weapons or triggering volcanic eruptions to block sunlight, but it's also obvious that would have far-reaching consequences on the ecosystems, likely worse than global warming.
Generally, it applies when the stastic is used to judge many individuals, rather than a single entity.
