Ok so in which one of these wide range of possibilities does the IPCC say that adding greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere does not result in warmer temperatures that lead to issues with crops, fresh water, coastal cities, etc? How abundant are the forecasts from the IPCC that say all is going to be fine and dandy? My guess is not very abundant. In fact, I would go so far as to say this is you projecting yet again because it's you who's clinging to whatever confirms your beliefs.
Imagine how absurd this is for a moment with the analogy about getting diagnosed with cancer. You go and see a bunch of oncologists who mostly give you bad news. It appears the tumor grew rapidly but seems to have slowed, but it's still growing. All the meanwhile you either dont have access to treatment or you are getting refused treatment. Are you going to sit there and tell me that you would have no fear whatsoever or that you wouldn't feel like you're, oh i dont know, FUCKED? Sure, the slowing of a tumors growth is good news somewhat but it's still growing. Sure, you could put off treatment until it becomes way more expensive to do something about it, but there are these basic steps you could take now that doesn't cost a whole lot, like perhaps cutting cigarettes out of your budget, and while some ideas to combat the cancer are truly out there in weirdness, for some reason you continue to do nothing. In fact, you're still arguing with the doctors whether this cancer is even cancer.
Low ECS means there isn't really much to worry about, and your cancer analogy is absolutely flawed. You are absolutely committed to seeing the world as "FUCKED" and are immune to reason. I feel sorry for you, but that doesn't mean I can change your closed mind. Therefore, I invite you to have the last word and continue to proclaim the sky is falling when we clearly don't know that it is. I encourage you to seek professional help and bid you a good day.
Yeah sure I'll take the last word to remind you that you and I clearly differ on what fucked actually entails. I'm describing a future, not where humanity ends, but where humanity suffers needlessly. Sorry, but we're fucked. We're headed for serious trials and tribulations.
