  Due to the low confidence of the IPCC and climate researchers regarding the achievability of the target, various groups, such as Scientist Rebellion, argue that the 1.5-degree target should be declared politically unfeasible. Direct democratic initiatives, such as Climate Restart, the initiator of the 2023 Berlin climate neutrality referendum, emphasize that decarbonization in industrialized nations must still be implemented in line with the 1.5-degree target to mitigate risks.
  
  Political scientists Wim Carton and Andreas Malm (both from Lund University) criticize representatives of climate science for having based their simulations on the achievability of the 1.5-degree target for too long, while relying on implausible assumptions that distracted from real-world scenarios.
