> Sure, but why even make that argument?

To accurately model a physical system humanity depends upon.

> Nobody cares about this nerd stuff.

Clearly false.

Many do. Military types care about ocean tempretures as it facilitates submarine tracking, for example.

> Maybe the only argument should be that "if we burn it all, then we will all die."

Many would suggest burning 90% of it then. That's 10% shy of we all die so that's got to be ok, okay?

> That should be the title of every climate study going forward, shouldn't it?

This is what you want to hang your stance upon? Uniformly stupid titling?
