I'm not the climate change expert here, but for one, if we don't have enough time to comfortably adapt to the environmental changes, we're going to have a harder and harder time surviving as a species. The more the average temperature increases within a relatively short period of time, the more difficult it becomes for us to survive the increasingly severe effects of the rise.
