You misunderstood. We've been X years away until we can't avoid a catastrophe that's going to happen decades later. That's our reality. The catastrophe itself was always decades away. And largely still is, but the downside effects of global warming are happening faster than the models predicted. At the rate things are going, the problems we thought we'd have in 2100 are going to be had in 2050-2060. That's not good. Are we all going to die by 2030? No. Are we going to have significant impacts by 2100? Absolutely. Will warfare exacerbate the problem and kill off even more people? Certainly. Will civilization collapse? Maybe, but probably not. Regional collapse is likely. Will humans go extinct? Almost certainly not.
