Edit: We survived an ice age and we're very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

Humanity will likely survive climate change.

I like your optimism, but I don't share it. We honestly don't know, one way or the other. What we do know is that human extinction in on the table and growing in probability. When I look at human actions as our cumulative knowlegde of these risks grew, well, I'm not exactly confident our species will make it.
