We're not going to have catastrophic climate change. Or at least, not catastrophic to us in the U.S. and other OECD countries. We will almost certainly have 2.2-2.7 C increases in temps....but while that will be bad for a lot of people in a lot of places, it's not likely to be all that terrible for us here in the U.S.

The Earth's climate goes through cycles regardless of what we do. The sun itself sees to that. Can mankind speed up something? Sure. But climate models disagree on what the magnitude is (it won't be 2.2, probably half that if at all).

And it won't be catastrophic because...human beings can actually adapt.
