The latest data from the WMO also shows that emissions of nitrous oxide are 20% higher than in the preindustrial era, and are accelerating.

The estimate for atmospheric carbon dioxide for that period is two to four times preindustrial levels, or roughly between 560 parts per million and 1120 parts per million.

Some climate scientists believe we can accommodate an atmosphere with concentrations of carbon dioxide that are twice the levels of the preindustrial era about five hundred and fifty parts per million.

So until recently they hardly ever seriously considered or modeled the do-nothing scenario, which is a tripling (820 ppm) or quadrupling (1100 ppm) of preindustrial levels of carbon dioxide over the next hundred years or so.

The danger, according to multiple scientific studies, is that without a redoubling of efforts to curb emissions, the goal enshrined in Kyoto, Japan, of restraining warming to 2 degrees Celsius this century, compared with the preindustrial era, will soon be unattainable.

Taking the entire 27 chapters plus appendices of modelling the effects of a do nothing tripling of preindustrial concentrations as evidence that no one has seriously considered the do nothing tripling is really a very strange mistake or evidence of ignorance of what is actually going on.
