the aim of keeping global warming below" 2 degrees Celsius, or 36 Fahrenheit.

I love scientific articles with huge math mistakes. Someone either at IBD or its source converted a change of 2 degrees C into 36 degrees F. Either they left a decimalnout of the real value of 3.6 degrees F, or didn't correctly handle the offset for the freezing point and got 35.6 degrees F and rounded up.

Yet I am the unscientific "denier".

2 deg C=36 deg F under common core math. And, doesn’t it make it sound more catastrophic that way too? OMG!!! 36 degrees!!! We’re all gonna drown. LOL!

I think you are correct in saying that they left out a decimal.
However, I may be giving the writer too much credit.
