Maybe so. But it's a gamble. If species that we depend on go, such as pollinators, we'll be SOL.
On the other hand, I do agree with your practical assessment:
> "cool, we'll fix that in a century or two, if technological civilization still exists by that time".
Because, if for no other reason, it probably won't.
And there's also the fact that it's a human impact that can't likely be mitigated in any other way than collapse of the human population.
10 000 years is a lot of time. Compared to other climate issues, with consequences expected in decades, this deserves at best a "cool, we'll fix that in a century or two, if technological civilization still exists by that time".
