Globally and to a point, maybe. But that's not taking into account local effects and the millions (billion?) who'll be displaced and what comes with it
Then you have ocean acidification, postivie and negative feedback that we won't be able to stop, &c.

I’m fairly confident that the same UN data points, and basically the entire corpus of text about climate science, will show you that it's absolutely not how it works because the inertia is way too strong to only care about it when it's in front of you
