Have you considered that humanity does not actually have enough data to know what is and is not a "safe climate zone"?
How long, in years, did the climate take to "recover" from siberian traps eruptions? How about the dinosaur killing asteroid/deccan traps episode? What was more damaging to the environment, particulate in the air or the release of volcanic gasses?
The planet has been through multiple unimaginable apocalypses. It will survive humanity just fine. And if it doesn't? Im sure something will evolve to take our place. Terraforming is well beyond our means as a species, intentional or not.
- The problem is not the planet surviving, we know it'll most likely be fine eventually. The problem is that we're causing wide-spread death and destruction, including our own.
  
  We evolved to be smart enough to be able to create and use tools, but not the wherewithal to prepare for compounding trends. Maybe this is the great extinction barrier that explains the Fermi paradox
- You're right, all those studies and scientists are actually pulling that stuff out of their asses, just to be contrarians.
  
  Idk man remember when that ozone hole was supposed to kill us all but we started fixing it in like 10 years? How about when we decided plastic would choke the oceans to death only to find that microbes are busily learning how to break down all those man made forever polymers? Member those? Meeeember?
  
  I don't know about 10 years, but the hole has yet to close completely and required effort on OUR part; and if you think that something like the Pacific Trash Island is something that only we "decided" was bad, then I can't convince you. Just "member" these when you run out of convenient excuses.
  
  From when we discovered the ozone hole to banning hairspray and shit was about 10 years.
  Also, I didn't say we decided the pacific trash hole was bad. I said we decided it would kill all the life in the ocean, and that was hilariously wrong.
  Have you taken a reading comprehension course in the last 10 or 15 years?
  
  Yes, yes, you're very smart and edgy. Better not do anything, since the planet will do just fine on its own.
  
  Im gonna assume that's a "No." In answer to whether or not you've had any sort of reading comprehension classes. That's okay. The only way you can go now is to improve. Good luck buddy.
