Well, us and more than billions of other sentinent beings that keep dying and go instinct every year [1][2][3]
Yes, them too of course but others will probably thrive. The planet has been through worse times than these (see: dinosaurs). It’s a big rock and it won’t collapse because we’re fucking with it.
It’s habitability that’s the real problem.
Indeed, the existence of life on Earth as a whole is not threatened by climate change (probably not even humanity). I'd consider it a matter of ethics regarding the life of individuals though.
