"What's not true is massive negative consequences having already happened, "

Oh, yes they have; and they will get worse.

"What particularly hasn't been established as being true is the combination of all the below points."

1 - "The earth has warmed, is warming, and will continue to warm."
Established
2 - "This is overwhelmingly because of human emission of CO2 (and to a lesser extent other greenhouse gases)"
established
3 - "Warming like this has never happened in human history"
established

"almost never in the planets history."
Deccan Traps, Siberian Traps ...

4 - "If things are not massively changed the result will be globally catastrophic."
yup
5 -" If human activity that produces greenhouse gasses is massively cut very soon. Then the crisis can be averted"

Too late to avert, since it's upon us, but not too late to avoid making it worse.

6 - "Human greenhouse gas emissions can be rapidly cut, "
FF-free by 2050 doesn't strike me as very rapid, and it's also something backward nations like the US won't be able to accomplish.

"and over longer period nearly eliminated, in a cost effective way that doesn't amount to a global economic catastrophe. "

40 or 50 years; will only harm purveyors of fossil fuels.
