Humans are really good at slow moving catastrophes. We adapt. The pain and solutions to pain can be spread out over time.

The crux of the climate "debate" should be how to limit the scope of the warming ---> limit the pain and cost of the adaptation. While, you know, planning for the adaptation.

Your point on civilization adapting vs "we're all going to die" is a true one though. I roll my eyes everytime I see one of those headlines saying we're all going to die by 2050. It's over the top and any climatologist worth their salt would tell you the same.
