That is a statement bereft of empathy. It is also a misunderstanding of how natural selection works. When an abrubt change in climate occurs, the general case seems to be extinction followed by spreading of other organisms into vacant niches. So "life" will adapt, but not necessarily "we". Even as one of the most successful species ever, in terms of flexibility in our requirements to the environment. The crap factor, bovine or otherwise, is just as high with the deniers of climate change than with the alarmists. Sadly.
