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.

Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#/media/File:Gre...

Searched for a Wikipedia article called global warming -> automatic redirect to climate change article -> scroll through different graphs et voila, found this one

Does this graph include multiple tipping points that we might trigger along the way? I am afraid it might not, please correct me if I'm wrong. Many of them are becoming "likely" after passing 2 C [1].

I don't know. I generally take these graphs at face value: because it's above 2°C, it doesn't really change that we have a lot to do still. The only question is: a lot of what? Convincing people? Convincing politicians? Signing up for a job as wind turbine builder? What's most effective is what I'm currently struggling with the most (but not what you asked, sorry)

I guess it's also unpleasant to know. I can't change tipping points anyway, I'm already pushing for change as hard as I personally can without becoming a hermit or similar

Yeah I have no idea either. To me what is happening (not happening?) is surreal.
