Actually the opposite of what you claim.
Global warming advocates claim we are at the tipping point and warming will increase at an increasing rate. The hockey stick.
The leftist claim 7 degrees increase in temps and 6 billion die.

The research suggests that the transformation may already be underway. Much of the region has been in a severe drought since 2000, which the study's analysis of computer climate models shows as the beginning of a long dry period.
The study, published online in the journal Science, predicted a permanent drought by 2050 throughout the Southwest — one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation.
The data tell "a story which is pretty darn scary and very strong," said Jonathan Overpeck, a climate researcher at the University of Arizona who was not involved in the study.
Richard Seager, a research scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and the lead author of the study, said the changes would force an adjustment to the social and economic order from Colorado to California.
There are going to be some tough decisions on how to allocate water," he said. "Is it going to be the cities, or is it going to be agriculture?"
Seager said the projections, based on 19 computer models, showed a surprising level of agreement. "There is only one model that does not have a drying trend," he said.

The Met Office in the UK was wrong in its forecasts 10 out of the last 10 years. 9 of the years it was wrong, they forecasted TOO HOT.
In fact not only do they predict warming, they claim the increase of CO2 can create nothing but warming.
