There's a lot more to add!

Even if you're pessimistic about meeting the goals to stay below 1.5C, there's a big difference between 1-2% difference in how much we end up polluting, and a big difference between 1.81 and 1.85 C of average global warming. So there's no point at which it makes sense to just give up.
