This is banking on the assumption that ocean ecosystems will adapt to vastly acidified and warmer waters... (Or that we will help them via introducing GM species.) Later effects would be acidified soil. In large enough amounts, the results look like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Triangle_(region) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Triangle_(region)

Again, we are talking about human extinction. The stakes are pretty high and I'm sure at least one group would set aside the resources to preserve a minimum viable number of humans (and a lot of fertilized eggs) along with enough environment to sustain them long enough. Extinction implies all humans will die. That's very unlikely, even if the planet takes a very significant hit.
