Global warming isn't going to kill people. Well, not a significant %-age of people. It's going to move climate zones, change coastlines, if it goes as the current trend indicates, there will be extinctions of non-humans.
Humans live in every climate on the planet (except Antarctic winter). We're not getting killed by climate change. Not en masse.
I mean... the sun's life cycle will lead to global warming on a scale that is as extreme as these things get on time scales of 100,000,000 years+, and that will drive all humans underground if we can survive that at all. Eventually, though, even that ends.
