I mean, as an aside from the shitposting - climate change is unlikely to kill all life on earth. Or even all humans. Even if it goes catastrophically wrong, wrecking ecosystels and destroying cropland, there are 8 billion humans and we're quite hardy and ingenuitive. Even if 99.9% of humans died, there would still be 8 million humans left.
As for "all life on earth" - that is unlikely to the point of absurdity. There are bacteria that live in the deepest depths of the ocean, surviving off of the heat radiating from geothermal vents. Yes, the whales and the polar bears and the elephants might all die, and this would be terrible and tragic and an all around awful thing. But all life on earth...? Unlikely
