The IPCC has a vision of what that looks like over the next few years and significant parts of that are written into the Inflation Reduction Act and recent US regulatory decisions.

“Largely”?

I think that's meant to allow some residual use coupled with CCS and/or DAC.

In any case, the time frame for zero is further out than the term of currently-elected officials, so I'll be happy to see cuts happening.
