Texas is being hit pretty hard right now too. Hope you stay safe, Kitalpha!
Climate goes in cycles though, so in one sense it is a change for us presently but it has all happened before in past cycles. The key is to identifying when those cycles have occurred and to prepare accordingly. I don't know if will we go back to forests in the desserts or tropical plants in the Arctic but I suppose it could be a possibility. Either way humans need to be responsible to clean up after ourselves and stop polluting because we will run out out of clean drinking water way before that, and we can't live without water.
