No climate scientist claims to know what absolutely WILL happen.

... this is easily the most foolish thing I've seen someone say online. What the fuck do you think climate science is?

Anyway, bye. Enjoy that sand you're huffing.

Climate science can, and has, predicted various scenarios that are based on different possible things that people could do in the future, including those that may limit warming to 1.5 C or less.

But since climate scientists can't predict with absolute certainty what people will actually do, they can't predict with absolute certainty what will happen to our climate.
