That's where the fundamental disagreement comes from. I've not heard compelling evidence that humans go extinct if the temperature rises 3C. I've been to southern California before, and it's miserable being much higher than 3C above where I live, but people seem to make it work.
We're talking hundreds of years for the full impact from a 3C rise to kick in too, so it's not like people on the coast wake up under water the next day.
At what year can we declare that the global warming apocalypse has not happened? When we're all doing fine in 2060 can I stop worrying?

And that doesn't even count the fact that we no longer would have to build peaker plants - which are VERY EXPENSIVE to build and to operate.

Is there evidence to support this claim? If this were true, then we'd all have battery storage and stop building peaking plants.
