The problem that is going to affect most people most directly is not raising sea levels or being too hot outside, it's the disruption of just in time food production chains that have centralized in fewer and fewer places. Alaska might benefit by turning into a good production powerhouse in the long term, but in the meantime things aren't going to be pretty because very little change is needed for crops to be unviable in the locales they're currently grown.

To imply that there will be wide-spread food problems due to a marginal increase in temperatures is fantasy.
It's already happened and will happen again.

Indeed, the extra CO2 is increasing plant growth rates.
