"if we drastically reduce human emission of CO2 things will be ok"

Too late for that. Thing already aren't OK. The best we can do is limit additional increases.

" You have to show that

1 - The warming is massively harmful.
2 - That the harm is much greaer or at least clearly and noticeably greater then the harm caused by the plans your pushing to reduce CO2.
3 - That the plans your pushing to reduce CO2 emissions will actually work. That the economics and politics of them actually work (something that has just about nothing to do with climate science), and that if implemented they will noticeably reduce human emission of CO2, and that this reduction will reduce global warming.
4 - That there isn't better ways to counteract or mitigate global warming other then reducing CO2 emissions.
5 - That there are not better ways to use the resources you would assign to this effort to reduce human suffering and death more and more cost effectively then human emission of CO2."

Been there, done that. BTW, there will by no harm to anybody but people who work in the FF industry, and those who will own the stranded fossil assets. The former should start looking for jobs in the green energy sector.

No, we don't have to show the politics actually work. That's political science, and that's not science.
