I don't understand the conclusion.
According to the article, we currently emit 2.1w/sqm in greenhouse gasses.
If we had 10x energy and it was all fusion - it would be 0.4w/sqm.
This sounds like a massive improvement.
Additionally, I'm highly skeptical we'll be using 10x the energy in 100 years - when there's likely to be significantly less people, and everything is getting more efficient.
Sounds like the same argument that China is going to continue growing 10% per year for the next hundred years, because it did for the last 30 years. No. China's workforce is going to decline massively. It will be so much harder for them to grow at the same rate, it would take a real miracle to keep growing at that rate.
