I thought this article was interesting, although its but one single source of info and I'm just putting it here as one anecdotal answer to your question ...it uses 450 ppm as a generally accepted benchmark that we need to not rise above.

Excerpt: "In order to stabilize CO2 concentrations at about 450 ppm by 2050, global emissions would have to decline by about 60% by 2050. Industrialized countries greenhouse gas emissions would have to decline by about 80% by 2050."
Thanks Gator- at least they came up with a measurable level. I doubt this planet is capable of a 30% reduction let alone 80%.
We can't even harness the sun efficiently. Nuclear is about the only thing we get "right".
The Earth has been known to fluctuate throughout its life, so we'll see.
The endless bickering does get old😑
Peace👍
