The only way we're going to wipe ourselves out is with nukes, nanotech, or engineered viruses. Global warming is not an insurmountable concern. It will be expensive for coastal cities, though.
There's no reason we can't focus on multiple things. Global warming isn't so pressing that we need to dedicate all intellectual output to it. Every 10 or 20 years, the environmental alarmists come up with something new to obsess over (I think it was landfills previously), and they're doing it now with global warming.
