If the GHG - temperature link is on the low end of the range of estimates (1.5 C to 4.5 C per doubling), then global warming will not be a significant problem.
But aren't these way too low, since LOTI shows we are — as of 2017 — already around 0.95 C warmer than the 1951 - 1980 average, and there is more warming «in the pipeline» because of the time lag, and another (estimated) 0.5 C warming when the anthropogenic aerosols dimming effect is removed?
However even the moderate scenarios which have eventual stabilisation give more warming than 0.8 C. Even in the extremely unlikely event that there is no further growth in emissions, the current planetary energy imbalance (estimated to be almost 1W / m2)(due to the ocean thermal inertia) implies that there is around 0.5 C extra warming already in the pipeline that will be realised over the next 20 to 30 years.
Gavin Schmidt writes, «He (Crichton) also gives us his estimate, ~ 0.8 C for the global warming that will occur over the next century and claims that, since models differ by 400 % in their estimates, his guess is as good as theirs.
I have followed Tamino for some time and I am familiar with Foster and Rahmstorf wherein they estimate the rate of anthropogenic warming at.17 degrees C / decade.
If, for example, we were to create a piece-wise continuous trend keeping your own trend, we'd find the 0.17 C decadal warming trend from your starting point preceded by an estimated warming of equal magnitude in the combined 125 prior years (beginning at a time where only 1/4 of the present day coverage existed, thus placing the entire 125 year warming more or less within the margin of statistical insignificance).
By the carbon - climate response function I gave above (Matthews et al), the best estimate for the decrease in peak warming is 0.2 C, with the 5 - 95 percentile limits 0.1 - 0.3 C.

Abstract Recent estimates of the global carbon budget, or allowable cumulative CO2 emissions consistent with a given level of climate warming, have the potential to inform climate mitigation policy discussions aimed at maintaining global temperatures below 2 ° C.
Millar's estimate of the carbon budget to stay «well below» 1.5 C warming was 625GtCO2, or roughly 15 more years of emissions at our current rate.
Earth's estimated rate of warming then is approximately one - half of one degree (C) per century (~ 0.005 °C / year).
This ends up changing estimates of cumulative carbon emissions since the pre-industrial period, but given the large uncertainties involved the authors caution against using these revisions to draw conclusions about remaining carbon budgets associated with staying within the 2C or 1.5 C warming targets.
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) take underlying socioeconomic factors, such as population and economic growth, as well as a climate target — such as limiting warming to 1.5 C — and estimate what changes could happen to energy production, use, and emissions in different regions of the world to reach the targets in the most cost - effective way.
Half of the warming corresponds to a TCR of about 0.9 C, The best estimate of TCR is about 1.8 C according to AR5.
First, instead of using an ensemble of models to calculate the 66th percentile of runs that result in 1.5 C warming, they use a range of possible climate sensitivity values that ends up providing a more conservative estimate of what it would take to exceed 1.5 C.

In fact, based on past temperature / CO2 changes since 1850 and the estimated total carbon contained in all possible fossil fuel resources on Earth, the total human - induced warming we could envision (when this resource is all used up) is around 2.2 degrees C above today's temperature.
... we showed that the rapidity of the warming in the late twentieth century was a result of concurrence of a secular warming trend and the warming phase of a multidecadal (~ 65 - year period) oscillatory variation and we estimated the contribution of the former to be about 0.08 deg C per decade since ~ 1980.
From the last 60 years for which we have accurate CO2 levels, the effective TCR obtained by warming per CO2 increase is over 2 C per doubling, so those estimates with lower values should not be used for policy because they would dangerously underestimate what has already happened.
I accept the radiation physics indicating CO2 acts as a filter for certain electromagnetic frequencies, and also the estimate of 1 degree C of warming per doubling of CO2 in the absence of feedback.
