Your quote demonstrates that global warming is either not all that bad or you are not advocating enough stuff to fix it. If it really is an emergency and is that bad, we should be doing stuff that would make our world worse if we are wrong.

Well, a lot of scientists do advocate to keep warming to below 1.5 C, but that is not seriously pursued because it is not considered to be economically realistic or politically viable. The Paris trajectory is aiming for 2C, and hoping that it won't end up being significantly more. That is, not making the okay the enemy of the good, or good the enemy of the perfect.
