The problem is not the end state, it's the speed at which we are approaching that end state. Think about a car moving down the highway, when you gradually apply the brake, you can safely decelerate to 0. When you hit a stationary barrier, getting to 0 is potentially deadly and also damages the car. Rapid climate change kills species, disrupts supply chains, increases damaging weather like hurricanes, destroys agricultural lands, and erodes shorelines. All of which we could cope with over thousands or millions of years. But doing it over hundreds is going to be a catastrophe.
