Plus there's the positive feedback loops, so even if that's the natural course we're on, it will lead to changes that will result in even further warming, i.e. no ice to reflect the suns heat, so we absorb more heat, and the methane released by the melting gas, amongst others (there's quite a few of them).
From what I've been reading, it seems like if we get up to 2 degrees, the positive feedback loops would probably keep us going up to at least 4-5 degrees.
