It's less about position and more about velocity. Think of it like a car: your distance from a cliff is absolutely relevant, but how fast you're moving towards it is even more so. Right now we're speeding towards the cliff, and all people are saying is we shouldn't do that. If you like, speeding towards a cliff is "incorrect".If so, it should be easy for you to find citations in peer reviewed journals.

Do whatever. We'll be dead before we cause a runaway greenhouse scenario, and way more than 1% of our environment will survive what we do do.
