OK, is this a real report, or just something that every politician will use to go into "oh well, if it is locked-in, then curbing CO2 emissions doesn't do anything and we should start thinking who will be sacrificed" mode?
The IPCC is the international authority on climate change. They represent all climate scientists. It is a very serious report, but politicians haven't taken any of their previous reports seriously and they won't start now
It's based on the most recent IPCC report, but "at least some" warming has been locked in for while. But we're on the verge of staying under 1.5C, which was some goal from a decade or so ago, becoming an impossibility. There's definitely some hyperbole as a lot of the commentary on the most recent report has been kind of apocalyptic, when each of these reports are essentially the same as the last one but a little worse. Like still genuinely a scary potential future, just seems to be a major jump in reactions from the most recent report, which I think was essentially as scary.
