No, it is absolutely justified. CO2 emissions are still rising. We are currently cheering and celebrating reductions... in acceleration. Feedback loops like methane emissions due to permafrost melting are still gonna hit us even if we all went into caveman lifestyles right now. That means that we go into a positive feedback loop where temperature keeps raising irrespective of our actions. There are already densely populated regions getting close to 'wet bulb temperatures' which means they won't be able to sustain life much longer. There are regions that have no readiness for floods or draughts or cyclones who will now face them. Emergency sounds about right to me.
