We already heated the world 1.5 degrees in less than 100 years. If we break 3 then that’s probably the end of most macroscopic life on earth.
Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't.

Nah.
We think we’re that powerful, but there’s an entire domain of creatures we can barely reach that utilize geothermal energy that will just keep plugging away out of our sphere of influence.
Surface and shallow water life is and will suffer greatly until we burn ourselves out and are no longer a threat on the scale we currently are, but humans are even egotistical in this topic. We couldn’t come close to sterilizing this world, even if it magically became as important to us as fucking one another over for paper simulacra of supposed value.
We are a nuisance, but we aren’t the first evolutionary nuisance the earth has dealt with. We have no mastery over this world as much as many like to believe so. A nuclear detonation possesses a tiny fraction of the power of a volcanic eruption.

It depends where the hot is coming from. If it’s from inner earth we won’t survive because people can’t survive outside of this planet.
