Depends on what you mean by "totes fucked". I think the worst consequences are basically unavoidable, but it's probably not an extinction event. It will however lead to the collapse of a lot of nations, but likely not the ones in the imperial core, and lead to more mass migration events. So the "totes fucked" aspect will be whether our reaction will be to move toward more equitable distribution of the resources and land we have, or if we adopt some form of ecofascism. So I guess it's up to you whether you want to fight for a better world within the reality of climate change, or whether you'll give up and live under a fascist government.
This is pretty much my understanding, ya. I feel like the doomer catastrophizing is really counter-productive, and also not particularly prescient. You don't paint an apocalyptic image, but you don't paint a pretty one either. I think you have it
