We don't face an existential threat on a decades-long timescale.
We were told the same thing in the 60s. It didn't turn out to be true then, it won't turn out to be true now.
No one. No. One. Has made accurate predictions about long-term climate change effects so far. And I imagine 40 years from now, when I'm 80, I'll be hearing about some new climate disaster that will befall us.

Technology allowed us to progress past Malthus, it'll allow us to progress past climate change... but only if its cheap, plentiful, usable 24/7, and shared with the world.
All things fusion could achieve.
