More like half-millennia that we'll be dealing with the fallout from climate change. The next 50 years won't even be the fastest paced period of change. It's pretty bleak.
If there's a silver lining it's that on time scales of tens of millennia we might have avoided descending into another glacial period - which would be disaster for the northern hemisphere, erase Russia and Canada, and wipe out a sizable or even majority share of current crop production. It's tough to say if that would even matter to humans so far into the future, but maybe it's a small consolation.
The next ten generations or so are going to have some incredible challenges to overcome.
