That seems like disingenuous language. Climate change is akin to an avalanche threatening our town, and we're looking to shore up the retaining wall before the avalanche gets out of control. If the incremental changes do not build a sufficiently sturdy retaining wall we might as well not bother - we will have done a lot of work and the avalanche will still destroy the town. There's no middle ground when you're talking about an existential threat.
