The problem isn't that Chicago is going to become uninhabitable. The problem is that food supply for billions of people are going to be threatened, that will make the flood of refugees from Syria seem like a trickle.
The population growth of mainly Africa and parts of Asia is a problem but just like now it would be a problem of distribution. We can grow enough food even with the changing temperatures.
It will also be a very gradual increase in temperature and we humans are very good at adapting and finding solutions.

Serious question: Have you ever lived in a country that was in the middle of a famine?
People 'find solutions' to that problem. They aren't pretty. Those solutions consist of 'rob', 'starve, or 'leave'.
If you live in the first world, your problem is going to be dealing with people who are taking option #3. We're barely capable of dealing with a flow of refugees from one or two countries.
