I personally don’t think humans will be around long enough to naturally evolve given the climate crisis.
In an alternate future, I imagine humans live digitally and build themselves their own universe where they can control their own laws of physics and create simulations in that universe and live inside those. Never ending simulation in simulation so that they can outlast the heat death of the universe.
You’re right, but I want to note that climate collapse is a little more serious than an ice age. For one thing, the ocean is turning into acid. That’s because CO2 reacts with seawater to make carbonic acid. The pH of the ocean is balanced by calcium carbonate which can neutralise acids, but once the carbonate runs out, the pH will change WAY faster. Also, calcium carbonate is needed by crustaceans to make their shells. No carbonate means no crustaceans, which means no krill, which means the entire ocean food chain will collapse.
@PerogiBoi you still have the problem of hardware. Once that gets destroyed, every bit of information on that is lost forever. Maybe if we could find a way to be stored in rocks or trees or something like that. We would likely share some space with bacteria in that situation lol.

Humanity survived ice ages, it’s plausible any climate catastrophe will just be a bottlenecking event.
