Wow, I knew that would happen, right on que. Third post.
So, what about the article is false? When has Breitbart posted lies like CNN, and then had to retract, like CNN, and fire people, like CNN?
When the fix is more TAXES, FEES, and Surcharges on energy, and energy uses, and more BIG GOVERNMENT solutions, color me skeptical. And where do these "climate scientists" get THEIR FUNDING? What motivates them to get more funding, or increased funding. What are their political leanings? Let me guess. Remember, according to scientists, the Earth was supposed to be frozen over by now, in a MAN MADE ICE AGE. What happened?

Focusing on one detail instead of the actual conclusion of the research (which is NEVER mentioned in the article).
"Hence, limiting warming to 1.5 °C is not yet a geophysical impossibility, but is likely to require delivery on strengthened pledges for 2030 followed by challengingly deep and rapid mitigation. Strengthening near-term emissions reductions would hedge against a high climate response or subsequent reduction rates proving economically, technically or politically unfeasible."

The Breitbart article, and the OP, shockingly, are quite misleading.
yet they attack Washington Post and NY Times as sources of editorializing or fake news. they littery cant function with their daily dose of confirmation bias.
Climate SCIENTISTS are in almost unanimous agreement (97%) that global warming is a major threat to our planet. A reasonable person does not turn to a highly partisan source for vital scientific information. Same old, same old. Just like CNN's reporting of Hurricane Maria was "fake news."
Fake news. It has been debunked a few million times. You can't even find 97% of scientists unanimously agreeing on gravity.
"Scientists admit that world is warming more slowly than predicted."
Quote:
The worst impacts of climate change can still be avoided, senior scientists have said after revising their previous predictions.
The world has warmed more slowly than had been forecast by computer models, which were “on the hot side” and overstated the impact of emissions, a new study has found.
I'm not allowed to reproduce the text under the paywall, but it cites the authors, including, Myles Allen, a professor of geosystem science at the University of Oxford, stating very clearly that climate models were wrong and that we haven't seen the rapid acceleration in warming since the turn of the millennium that they had been predicting.
So no. The Breitbart article is not misrepresenting him, or the study for that matter.
The abstract doesn't state the same thing explicitly, but anyone who knows how to critically appraise scientific journal articles can read the implications from its findings that the IPCC Assessment Report's projections were wildly inaccurate.
