I see where you're going with this, but you are using a 90s catch phrase to fuel a philosophy. The idea that more of the world will be in tropical bliss is a common and yet rediculous misconception derived from the term Global Warming. Better understanding of the phenomenon has required it's renaming to a more accurate term: Climate Change.

We now know we're not all going to be on the beachfront in bikinis (albeit with 1000spf sunscreen) sipping slushy drinks in funky glasses. The earth's climate is changing, and changing geologically too quickly for most species to adapt. That means they will die. When one species dies it can take an incalculable toll on an ecosystem. When many die out the result is a loss of the complexity of life.

We are changing the history of our planet forever, for better or for worse. Philosophically I'm not very sympathic of our demise, personally I think it is very sad. We are a part of this plant, no matter how much we remove ourselves from nature and tell ourselves we're special. We too can and will die out if we don't manage our living space well enough. I just think it's sad that we are going to commit suicide and take down a whole lot of other life before we go just to satisfy ego and wallet of a small minority.

While I agree that life (in some form or other) will go on, it most certainly won't include us, and will not have any sort of enjoyable quality for that which can survive - until the dust settles again.
