Is there a site showing our socioeconomical possibilities and coutries' carbon-heavy investments that are in the pipeline?

I hear 1.5 C, 2 C all the time, but not much is happening [1] so I am looking for a best estimate to what should I expect in 2030, 2040 and 2050; not that 1.5 is "technicaly possible" cause it's practically impossible.

In 1990, the U.S. Navy predicted that the Earth would warm as much as 4 degrees Celsius by 2040 https://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/weather/climat...

This is about the same I heard from a climatologist in my country: we are on track for 3-4 C. Is it possible though? If so - how are we not freaking out about it?

Yes, that is the case.

The people who care are freaking out. The ones intent on denying it at all costs are sufficient to prevent them from doing anything about it.
