Take their words. The 30 year goal is exactly what you're asking for. They didn't pick 2050 out of a hat

Switching coal to natural gas is exactly what everyone's been trying to do for well over a decade. This isn't a new phenomenon. And yes Canada should ship it's natural gas |

n the scenarios we assessed, limiting warming to around 1.5°C (2.7°F) requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, and be reduced by 43% by 2030;

If that's the real assessment(meaning the modelling is accurate) we may as well just work on mitigation, because there is no possible way we get anywhere near this target globally. Like, it's just not going to happen. That's reality.
