he's correct in some sense: "maybe". every 1/10th of a degree could be critical to our survival.
but it doesn't acknowledge that this bargaining becomes increasing unlikely. 1.5 C wasn't some number chosen for it's aesthetics, it's because climate tipping points become exponentially more likely to trigger after 1.5 C, and so if you exceed 2.5 degrees, temperatures may then rise unavoidably to 3.5 degrees no matter what you do.
