Climate change doesn't have the potential to make humans go extinct.

It however has the potential to very easily destroy society and civilisation as we know it.

If I put it simply, climate change is moving the area that is fertile and capable of sustaining large numbers of people. It won't move our settlements that are located in the areas that used to be most fertile, but that's no longer true because of climate change.

This will lead to migration of a size we haven't seen since the beginning of the medieval. That will cause global wars (though it probably won't be nuclear). In the end, the vast majority of humans will perish, and cultures will disappear, shuffle and get replaced...

In a long run, the survivors will repopulate the earth in the new fertile areas, hopefully, they'll recover all the knowledge we have today and humanity will go on. Maybe even better, than now. That, however, is not an argument to embrace climate change, as it's quite likely that none of us sitting here and reading 4chan would be among the survivors.
