Short term, yes, we would do our best to survive and most would. But, as food production has already been pointed out, our inefficiency with regard to food globally would cause significant problems for us, especially with the rate the population is growing. There are a lot of changes that would need to occur and people aren't willing to make them now, at a time where we can actually work on what needs to be done without it being as dire of a situation.

Like I said, it's already a done deal.  CO2 will remain in the atmosphere for centuries, and with temps lagging, eliminating all fossil fuels today would not stop the warming.  Of course fossil fuels will still be burnt, and reducing them by these low numbers will do nothing seeing as reducing them by 100% would still result in temps rising.  Then we have the methane being released in the Arctic which is worse than CO2.  Then we have the oceans eventually releasing stored up heat and CO2.  The leaders are better off preparing everyone for the new world.  The old one is going to disappear.
