It's actually even less bad than I thought, because that six month difference is for 2050 rather than 2040.

Well that is indeed impressive, with two caveats:

1) I'm not sure why it's the forecast of the most pessimistic

2) The 80% reduction won't kick in until 2050. Indeed there won't even be a 20% reduction until 2020.
