They also ruled out the worst case scenario, but this doesn't sell equally well...

It makes sense to phrase it like that when politics worldwilde neglected the issue presumably hoping for best case scenarios.

No, it's lying by omission.

I don't understand why these articles don't link or at least provide a full title of the paper.

The paper itself:

An assessment of Earth's climate sensitivity using multiple lines of evidence, Sherwood et al., Reviews of Geophysics, 2020, doi: 10.1029/2019RG000678

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2019...

preprint manuscript: https://climateextremes.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/WC...

another mainstream article on the subject https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200722112648.h... > Four years of research confidently narrows range of 1.5°C-4.5°C down to 2.3°C-3.9°C

True but from what I understand of the matter (which isn't that much tbf), +2.3C is predicted to be already pretty fucking horrible, to say nothing of +3C...
