How close are we to 1.5 °C or 2 °C of global warming?

In a publication in Weather, a journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Prof. Jochem Marotzke (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology), Dr. Sebastian Milinski (currently NCAR, Boulder, USA) and Dr. Chris Jones of the Met Office, UK, answer questions about global warming.

What is meant by global warming, how quickly will a certain level of warming be approached? When will global warming reach 1.5 °C or even 2 °C and what does that mean?
