This quote is pretty apt at explaining our situation:
Still,
the rest of the world must be clear about the implications of the
agreement shaping up in Paris. Calling 2.7 to 3.5 C of warming a success
is akin to saying, when leaping a canyon 15 feet wide, that leaping
only 10 feet is no cause for alarm. After all, 10 feet is farther than
you’ve leaped in the past and represents undeniable progress towards the
ultimate goal.
