Questão 96564

Considering the nuances of expressing predictions in English, analyze the following excerpt from a climatology report: 'Based on current emission trends, global temperatures are on a trajectory to surpass the 2°C threshold by 2050. This projection, however, does not account for potential disruptive technologies in carbon capture that are currently in nascent stages of development. Should these technologies achieve scalable deployment, the long-term forecast improves significantly, although the immediate, decadal outlook remains concerning.' Which option best completes the sentence, reflecting a prediction contingent on a future condition?
