This is a terrible article. There are some errors, but the main issue is to take the wildest claims from activists that never came from the clim sci community, and in fact have been called out ("12 years", "Amazon is lungs of planet"), and apologize that the activists were wrong.
Naturally, the nonsense that came out of the activists are not "the IPCC." This has been robust across multiple assessment reports.
This doesn't mean climate change isn't the biggest environmental problem. It almost certainly is. A 3 degree world is one never encountered by humans, and the scope of the problem and its solution set is extraordinarily difficult to communicate.
It's of huge significance to turn New York into Arkansas, or Denver into Arizona, or having the number of 90+ deg days in a region increase severalfold, or shifting agriculture and plant zones by tens to hundreds of miles a decade looks like. It never needed to be Mad Max.
