No, we're really not. Climate change due to carbon emission is real, but we'll reduce our carbon emission "in time" to avoid extinction level increases and/or adapt to the environment more drastically if we miss that target.

Actually, we are in the middle of a mass extinction event:

I assumed the comment was about human extinction -- apologies if that was mistaken.

I assumed that's what you meant and the grandparent poster may have meant the same too. But, it's worth remembering that humanity as a species may not be especially immune to the same conditions that are decimating other animal populations and reducing biodiversity in the last 100 years.
