You may not think that a +/- of 5 degrees is a lot, but consider what happens to a human being if they experience a +5 degree difference in temperature. A person will die from a fever that high for an extended period of time. Now consider that on smaller organisms that are part of the biosphere and food chain. A lot of them cannot survive a swing of that degree and will die out, greatly impacting the biosphere.
Another issue to consider is the heat within the oceans. That is more dire than anything as the sea levels rise accordingly. Most importantly for our oceans is they act as a natural carbon sink. The amount of carbon the oceans are absorbing is changing the acidification of the water and killing off large swaths of life.
I appreciate your desire for debate, but the time for debate is long past. We Ned to act before the patient suffers more damage.
