No way can the human species cope with dramatic climate change within the FOR PROFIT framework of global capitalism. Geologists understand that the GOOD EARTH has a long long history going back more than 4 billion years . Long before the appearance of HOMO SAPIENS there were whole epochs of climate change that devastated all life on earth . There was once a " Snowball Earth " . There was the well known Permian Age of the Great Extinction. King Dinosaur suddenly just vanished making living room for small frail timid mammals . Whatever the ultimate cause of climate change in the present era human beings have always been able to ADAPT . But global capitalism and the division of the planet into mutually hostile nation state alliances make that adaption presently impossible. Any future INTELLIGENT species around to replace us ? Only God knows !
