Will they adapt to the raging wildfires that ~1.2C has already induced across much of the west coast? That's some adaptin'!

Wildfires on the west coast are far less common than they were 80 years ago. Humans are going to be a-ok

The northern US and Canada were barren mud and rock 12000 years ago. They'll adapt.
Oh the world will be absolutely fine, it will be we that suffer.
Like the wooly mammoths did!
Adaptation by extinction, the best one.
Except people can adapt to living in very warm areas and will adapt even more by using science. e.g. better (GMO) crop, bioreactors, solar powered desalinators, huge water pipes (why not? when we can have huge oil pipes) and so on
