I'm also not clear what you're trying to get at... that policy should be set based on the lowest error bar of the lowest emission or lowest concentration model? That doesn't make any more sense than setting policy on the highest error bar of the highest model (~6.5*C).
Not sure where you get that. They are comparing IPCC forecasts.

As for policy maybe we need to get the above sorted first. Then there is a debate on prevention vs. adaption - assuming there is a problem at all in the first case. At the lower end estimates it us pretty much as before and no real problem.

The IPCC says there is no extreme weather problem, little temp issue and some sea level rise which is unsupported by the evidence.

The world is fine. Protect nature, help others and enjoy your time in it.
