This is at least a shift from your earlier position. At this rate, we might be able to take action when we have closed only half the remaining distance to the iceberg.

I don't believe my position has shifted, I think I've only failed at communicating it.

I can't tell you how big a shock the economy will survive, only that it has to survive, so whatever shock we apply it must be less than the lethal dose. Killing the economy is literally the game over, because climate change isn't about climate for climate's sake, but about climate not killing our economies and civilization through the pressure of increasing uninhabitability.
