I think you underestimate the resilience of the human race. We have a space station where people live outside of earth. We have people living in Antarctica. On small scales, we can completely control environments to make them hospitable.

The idea that all the humans will die off in the lifetime of anyone who is alive today, from something slow moving like climate change, is pretty far fetched.

IMO it's not a world ending crisis, but definitely a city/society ending one. Countries with thousands of islands are heavily affected. Many major cities are near the ocean, so we'll see a lot of damage.

Some places will be more habitable, like Russia.
