Need to do more research on what 4 degrees looks like.
The numbers on sea-level rise are likely wrong. NOAA puts 50cm at the low-end for RCP 4.5. Don't know how that relates to the temperature. See:
Should probably just eliminate 1.5 column as it is not going to happen.

Oh, maybe this is consistent on second-thought, if +4 is really where we'll be on current glide path by EOC. Need to dig more into the NOAA paper.
Summary of some key impacts from Carbon Brief:
Note that in all scenarios, sea-level rise is strongly delayed. Even with +1.5, total sea-level rise is projected to be 1.5 meters by 2300.
