The effects of global warming are going to be quite minor. Mostly having to build levees / relocate low lying buildings. Very expensive, but hardly a doomsday scenario. Not as big a deal imo as other man made threats to the environment (and to ourselves).

When people start fighting for farmland is where I see the real threat. Much more afraid of war than water rising.

Warmer climates increase agricultural productivity and available farmland. The bigger risk to farmland is desertification due to overcultuvation and other manmade causes (that are mostly not global warming).
Well I do have kids, so I can't just say fuck it. I basically have to cling to the hope that geoengineering is going to stop the worst effects. I yoyo from "it'll be tough but we'll survive" to "we've had a good life" about 12 times a day now.
