I think 0.8–3.2 °C with a best estimate of 1.6 °C is the more worrying figure. it means that we've already committed to irrevocably pushing the planet out of the ice-house (cool/dry) state it has been in for the last 7 million years when there were no ice caps, the planet was several degrees warmer and distinctive tropical (tree-ferns in the Antarctic anyone?) and sea levels were metre higher than today. Because even our best efforts to contain warming within 2 degrees won't be enough to stop the long term decline of the polar ice caps.

Welcome to the Anthropocene.
