Can we trust the future scenarios? How good are they in projecting the future? 

The paper shows that modelers/scientists are right, however, not on all aspects for the right reasons. Regional emissions are growing at different speeds in the rich and poorer countries of the World. The most developed countries have outsourced  industries and emissions for the past two decades.

Variability in historical emissions trends suggests a need for a wide range of global scenarios and regional analyses (2020). Communications Earth & Environment, Nature Journals. doi.org/10.1038/s43247-020-00045-y
