The argument isn’t that the whole earth becomes inhospitable. But that certain regions do, and the rest will have their climate differ drastically.

If you live on the coast and the water level rises, your home is inhospitable, even if someone 100mi inland is fine.

If you live in a region that usually was 90F in the summer and is now >110F regularly, that’s going to cause problem.
