Those side effects are hideous. Slavery, etc.

But I said "extinction". Meaning everyone - you, me, my kid, etc. dying, maybe horribly.

The decision has biased ambiguity. There is no such guarantee that a climate change extinction event will kill off all life, but if you are artificially adding that constraint, you should add a similar artificial constraint to what the fascist government is guaranteed to do or not do, or remove both constraints.
