    Yes... and no.

    Our habitats and eating habits will be altered, but we're not going extinct over any foreseeable amount of climate change.

    Humans live in every known environment on the planet and we've even made our own orbiting environments.

    So long as thermodynamics remains exploitable for energy sources and engines, we'll be able to make our own food and environments, no matter what happens to the Earth's climate.

    I'm not suggesting that this is a best-case scenario, but the notion that humans are threatened by climate change is superficial. Our economies will change (as they always do). The coastlines will change (as they always do). Plants and animals will become extinct and new plants and animals will speciate from those which are not extinct (as they always do).

    The questions we face are:
    How much that could be lost is precious to us?
    How much are we willing to sacrifice and spend to prevent that loss?

    If those questions are unanswered....should government be conducting policy as if they were answered?

    I can only imagine you're disagreeing with the ways the government goes about doing this and their power to do such things. Either way what is the point of government then?
