Atmospheric CO2 is currently at about 414 ppm and is increasing by about 2 ppm per year. If we continue to increase CO2 at this rate, how many years will it take until we breach the 2°C mark based on mid-range setting simulation as considered above? [Note: this is a simple algebraic problem. Consider the current is 2020 AD].
