These predictions are probably wrong. I've experience colder temperature so wouldn't that contradict their predictions? And people make predictions all the time and they don't turn out. The earth is too complex to make accurate predictions and we don't know enough to make them. But what we can do is reverse the trajectory we are on.

I hope the predictions are wrong Denise. The predictions are for extinction to come through 6 + hour heatwaves. These heatwaves would be survivable if everyone could stay in doors forever in air conditioning. But that's not considered viable. If we had increased, rather than decreased, the carbon emissions and industrial pollution we were putting into the atmosphere we might have been able to slow the process but if the predictions are right then it's too late. The tipping points were reached long ago.
I think it's defeatist to think it's too late. It's a cop out. Nobody knows if it's too late. Look what happened in Beijing China when the Olympics were held there - they got rid of all the smog in a few weeks. We must not underestimate how nature is naturally geared to be regenerative. We ought to be doing things in small groups and being a sort of example. So far nobody wishes to collaborate, just talk gloom and doom it seems. Just refuse to give up, but we can't sit on our hands either.
I hope you are right and I hope that's not "hopium." The leading alarmists have retrained as grief counselors. One told me: "When the time comes I won't let my wife suffer." I took steps to make sure the wife would be protected from him.
