Long-term should be defined. We can cool the planet the same amount long-term. Why is it taken as a given that any warming is irreversible when we have historical natural patterns showing global cooling (ice age)?

Previous warming periods moved much slower. We are currently seeing the fastest rise in temperatur ever observed. We are already in a new extinction era as most species can not adapt fast enough to the changing climate.
