What does an eventual warming of six degrees imply for the amount of warming that will take place in (as opposed to due to emissions in), say, the next century? The amount of global catastrophic risk seems like it depends more on whether warming outpaces humanity’s ability to adapt than on how long warming continues.

I agree this is important. I’ll try to get to this when I have a bit more time.
