At the 4 degrees and beyond conference in 2009 they estimated that at 4 degrees of warming earth would be able to sustain about a billion people. We're on track for 4-6 degrees of warming over the next century, and nothing says it will stop there. Fossil fuel based civilization is all for naught. There is no "outrageous amount of good", quite the opposite. Every benefit is trivial when held up against the disaster we are creating. Before fossil fuels we were able to go hundreds of thousands of years without crashing the earth's life support systems. Notions of good and evil change dramatically when you internalize the full scope of the climate emergency.
