We are also pretty fragile and adapt (evolutionary) really slowly. Whenever there's some local major disaster (fires, earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic eruptions, mud slides, floods, hurricanes) we don't really do so well locally so I'm not sure we'll do that much better under some global major changes. The worst case scenarios here look pretty bad and our lack of ability to respond so far seems to indicate we just won't be able to respond. Humanity is taking a big gamble here. Win, and we maybe have slightly higher standard of living (whatever that really means), lose and we can't live on this planet any more. That's a pretty dumb gamble to be taking as a whole, it's just some people think they'll end up ahead of the others.
