Another quote from JC; "But reducing carbon is thus, logically, just one item on the list of answers to "What can we do to raise GDP in 2100?," Asked that way, you can see that "lower carbon emissions" is about #100 on the list, even admitting the 5-10% of GDP thumb-on-the-scale estimates. Here is 2012 video where I elaborate.

Further delay means having to cut emission much more rapidly to make up for lost time. That could turn the goal of getting to net zero emissions by 2050 from merely very difficult to virtually impossible.
