Everything this convention produces has to be ratified by 38 states, so how exactly can this convention pose such a danger? Is the sky falling as well?

I wish that the far left's conduct justified your trust. Imagine that we had a convention, produced something stupid, and then 22 states ratified. There is no constitutional limit on the time for an additional 16 states to ratify. I can imagine the gun grabbers using the next mass shooting to push for ratification of anti-gun sections or of the entire thing in nearby states, the professional racists using the next Trayvon/Ferguson incident to push for ratification, and so on, so that short-term events would lead to an increasing number of ratifications based on emotion or on guilt. My trust in today's political system is not at a high level.

"I wish that the far left's conduct justified your trust."

If you trust no one, the only option is the status-quo.

"There is no constitutional limit on the time for an additional 16 states to ratify."

Not quite right. Most modern amendment proposals have had time limits built into the text of the amendment itself.
