>To stay under +2°C in 2100 we need to reduce our CO² emission to ~2T/year of CO² per human. We are at 15T/year in the US and ~10T/year at the OECD. We are currently aiming at +4°C or more.

Source on this? (Especially first sentence)

Their taking the overall emissions targets from the IPCC SR15 report and dividing it per-capita.

My preferred way of visualizing it is the first, third and fourth set of graphs here: https://ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics

Its pretty insane what we have to do now because we've wasted so much time "debating".
