It's a disaster for the current flora and fauna, and social structures of the world. Something will follow, but on very different terms than what we have been used to.
To hazard a guess, the bias will be toward flora and fauna (including people) fighting to get in to, and defend shrinking habitable zones.
There is a theory that the desertification of the ancient Fertile Crescent, and subsequent dispersal of agricultural and pastoral societies and people, was the result of the their intense farming in a fragile environment.
Those people had a place to run to and carry on (the entire unknown-to-them world). No such escape hatch for us.
