I’m not sure any informed person disagrees. People are concerned about the comfortable temperature range for people and large scale agriculture.

We’ll probably adapt, but it might be really bumpy for a decade or so in the 2050s.

Maybe. But again I think it would be a bumpy road regardless. Humans have undergone an inflection point in the past couple hundred years. We are probably vastly surpassing the long term carrying capacity of the Earth. This may be an unpopular opinion but I think the best thing that could happen to the human species in the long run would be to drop the population perhaps below 500 million in coming decades as the Georgia Guide Stones recommend.
