This is the reason I don’t think climate change will be what kills humans off. We’re pretty resilient, and could just start building underground cities.

Water security is a real issue though. Coober Pedy relies on water being trucked in from the coast which is only viable there because of the wealth extraction from the opal trade.
In many outback towns there are legitimate questions around long-term viability due to increasing water scarcity. I agree that humans are resilient and resourceful, but there is much more to existing under a warming climate than escaping the midday sun.
I wonder if this is how homes on mars and the moon might look someday.
It’s not that fantastical, it’s resembles a small town and has aboveground buildings as well. The underground dwellings are mostly rented to tourists nowadays.
Few things I remember from there around ~10 years ago:
