It makes more sense to take big risks with money and then use any big payoffs to help geoengineering efforts or prepare for living in a bunker. That may sound silly but some rich people are already doing that:

I don't dispute man-made climate change, it's obvious by now.
I also don't dispute man-made climate change bringing about more extreme weather and raising sea levels, which are catastrophic things by themselves.
However, it's when you wrote about the "end of human civilization" that I got skeptical. There is no scientific consensus for that, and no compeling reason to believe such exaggerated claims, even if "rich people" took precautions against it, or some lone climate researcher claims it in a blogspot post.
Do not plan your retirement thinking that human civilization will end before you retire, because much more likely than not, it won't. This is so absurd that you're setting yourself up to have your end-of-life tragedy be in the future a pretty good joke about taking conspiracy theories seriously.
