I don't know anyone who thinks we'll see extinction (outside of possible "hothouse earth" scenarios, where we become a second Venus) but societal collapse is definitely on the table. Saying this is "not scientific" would just be you not understanding the science.

Please show me sources that the current emissions would lead to "lots of death"? Show me any decent modelling of emissions vs annual death?
This one shows a million more deaths annually if we have even more emissions in 100 years than now. Million more deaths is around 2% increase in death rate compared to the hypothetical without emissions.
This means even in the worst case of higher emissions in the future than now, also no technological progress, we would still be in better living conditions in the future than now.
