Have you considered that humanity does not actually have enough data to know what is and is not a “safe climate zone”?
How long, in years, did the climate take to “recover” from siberian traps eruptions? How about the dinosaur killing asteroid/deccan traps episode? What was more damaging to the environment, particulate in the air or the release of volcanic gasses?
The planet has been through multiple unimaginable apocalypses. It will survive humanity just fine. And if it doesn’t? Im sure something will evolve to take our place. Terraforming is well beyond our means as a species, intentional or not.
The problem is not the planet surviving, we know it’ll most likely be fine eventually. The problem is that we’re causing wide-spread death and destruction, including our own.
We evolved to be smart enough to be able to create and use tools, but not the wherewithal to prepare for compounding trends. Maybe this is the great extinction barrier that explains the Fermi paradox
