Is it a problem? Yes, one thinks it's sad polar bears will be gone in most of the wild in 20-30 years. If you realize more species have gone extinct in the last 100 years (due to population, industrialization, etc - humans) than in the last 10,000.

It's sad many beaches will be gone in 50 years, and tons of landmass lost, due to rising ocean waters. It's sad agricultural areas will be devastated by climate change and unrecoverable for use, as we have so many people in the world to feed.

The other side is there will be new species that will evolve to the new climate , there will also be new beaches , it doesnt take that long for things to break down and make new sand . We as humans will adapt and improvise to our new climate , we will evolve just like the rest of nature.
