Can someone explain what it means to "limit global warming to 1.5C"?

It means reducing greenhouse gas emissions so much that they only accumulate enough to increase the temperature of the planet 1.5C. Before the war nobody really thought pollution would stop before the planet warmed 2C or more.

The warming of the earth another 1.5C-2C more or less is a point of no return for global warming. If that happens there is no fixing things in anyone's life time that is alive today. They have been talking about this for a decade or two and its not far off if nothing changes.
