10% of us wealthy enough to buy a ticket on a luxury liner spaceship might hibernate like in Passengers for 100 years to the nearest habitable planet as we travel at light speed or something like that.

However, most of the people of the earth won't be rich enough to pay to do that.
So, most of us will have to make the best of earth even though all our ancestors for 15,000 to 50,000 years or more have brought us Hurricane Irmas and Hurricane Harveys and now into the future much much worse than that.
So, intelligent people likely will realize this and adapt to this.
They will realize that lighter houses made of wood or trailers likely will blow away or flood in storms like Harvey and Irma and either put houses on stilts to guard against flooding or built fortresses of cement and reinforced concrete on the ground or on reinforced concrete pillars. Or they will have boats or ships that they live in that can be easily put on vehicles to haul away or to sail away from the storm if those boats or ships are fast enough and have big enough gas or diesel engines to do that.
But, living in older wooden homes or in trailers might become more and more a thing of the past for most people who see the writing on the wall unless they have insurance that will cover that and evacuate when big storms like this arrive anywhere from Texas to up the East Coast from Florida to the Caribbean in general.
But, storms will increase in size naturally because of Global Warming to where there presently will be storms over 300 mph sustained winds with gusts over 350 mph by 2100. They might even be beyond this with government's like Trump's in existence here on earth.
People who question this I think at this point are pretty silly.
In fact, given all present variables even without Trump's effect in ending U.S. participation in the Paris Accords 300 mph sustain wind storms are likely inevitable no matter what happens now the rest of this century.
