Why do almost 80 % of the 380 IPCC experts look at warming of more than 2.5°C by the end of the century?

The scientific community is again sounding the alarm: without a paradigm shift, the probability that we will experience the consequences of an increase in temperatures significantly above 1.5 °C according to the Paris Agreement is increasing. The majority of 380 of the 843 IPCC experts who responded to the Guardian survey predict that the internationally agreed temperature targets will be exceeded, which can have dramatic consequences for humanity and the planet. More specifically, 77 % of the 380 experts who are lead authors or reviewers of IPCC reports as of 2018 envision a future described as “polystop” characterized by famine, conflict and mass migration triggered by extreme weather events such as heat waves, fires, floods and storms.
