With empirical data and more and better modeling, it has become clear that, to first approximation, the eventual anthropogenic warming from carbon dioxide is tied to the cumulative emissions. This figure is from the AR6 SPM: The relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and temperature (SPM AR6). Article 4, section 1.

For coal-fired power, the economic case has been bleak for a long time now, which has brought US coal-fired generation down to less than half of its 2010 level. Modeling has shown that coal power should be phased out entirely by 2030 if the United States is going to live up to its Paris Agreement targets to limit global warming to 1.5
