The (relatively) small global warming predictions are based on peak oil being true-- that is, that we have extracted about 50% of all the oil that we will ever extract. And by "relatively small" I mean the projections we've been worried about.

If peak oil is false, and we have only burned a small fraction of all the oil we are going to burn in the 21st century, then the warming projections get much higher than that.
