Did you watch _any_ of the visualization videos? The ecosystems shift from today's climate to Eocene (+15deg) over 100 years decimating most of the world.
At that time, the Pliocene (+5deg) areas are quite small and sparse. If there are thriving human populations left, they're going to be in those pockets. They're going to be doing agriculture in domes - greenhouses, because evaporation will be a major impediment to growing food in the open air.
Germination is highly sensitive to temperature - we need to focus genetics research on high-temperature stress-resistant crops, not designer babies for the well-to-do. Primate populations weren't dependent on rice, but it provides 1/5th of the calories consumed by humans.
