Ok I think I understand.
I think it's a misunderstanding: for me the letter says that 1.5 was a good thing 7 years ago but saying we will respect it today makes people think current and even promised actions are sufficient.
This would enable companies and government carry on insufficient actions while saying they'll manage.
It is to fight against that that several governments were sued for climate inaction.

@tfardet I do not know why you think I am optimistic. 😉

Activists should at least not use claims that 1.5°C is the threshold to catastrophe anymore. Because it will become clearer and clearer that even with massive action 1.5°C is no longer achievable without solar radiation management. You do not want people to think that climate action is futile because we are all going to die anyway.

At least in Germany I have seen activists move to saying every 0.1°C we avoid is precious. That is good.
