Which is why I put in that caveat. My feeling is that whatever the 'safe' level of CO2 in the atmosphere is, say 350ppm, the world response will be too little, too late to meet it. Real urgency to tackle the problem won't happen until people see climate change really taking hold, by which time it would be too late. If that happens then a big technological fix will be on the cards.
