Eocene temperatures: 6-15 kelvin above current. Would take another century or two of coal-burning to reach.

We are already at Eocene levels of CO2 it’s just that our climate hasn’t caught up yet
I think that's wrong, Eocene ended when levels had fallen to roughly 600-700 ppm? And we are at 480 ppm now.
You are correct. I meant the Miocene where towards the end CO2 was ~500 ppm which we are over with CO2e.
