Isn't even that dramatically overstated?

If sea levels rise significantly faster than over the last century, this seems likely to cause economic disruption, rather than threatening human civilization.

Even when we look at knock-on effects and food security, it seems very unlikely to threaten wealthy, developed countries with diversified food supply.

It is still going to disproportionately affect developing countries that are already struggling.
