Do you see the problem? We don't know the size of the danger but it's "catastrophic." We don't know the nearness or size of the danger but we have a tipping point coming up in ten years.

If human activity impact global warming, then by definition, it is catastrophic.

Does it matter if it is 10 years or 100 years away?

Does it matter if we continue doing business without constraint that it destroys all life on earth or just 50% of life on earth?

By the time you get mathematical certainty, it will be too late.

Right now, it is more than just heuristics and less than 100% mathematical certainty. The trend is clear. Mathematical certainty is not there.
