It's interesting that you call solving a problem potentially costing mankind trillions of dollars and millions of lives "hysteria" rather than measured response.
One degree is a problem for us on a planet that experiences wild temperature swings?
The Miocene, Roman, and Medieval warm periods were at least a degree warmer than the present...what sort of problems does history tell us that temperature increase caused other than to allow mankind to flourish?
They hadn't arranged their civilization around a previous climate like we have. Plus the whole world population then was nothing compared today.
Too many mouths to feed today. To many farms and cities to relocate.
A warmer climate is better for food production. When the Roman warm period ended around 500 AD, there was massive famine all over the world.
